Kevin McCarthy's Blame Game Causes Tension Among House Republicans

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is reportedly trash-talking his own GOP colleagues, including House Budget Chair Jodey Arrington and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, as Republicans struggle to unite behind a fiscal blueprint. McCarthy perceives both men as disloyal and incompetent, and he's known to hold a grudge. The drama playing out in McCarthy's leadership circle is not boding well for House Republicans' budget efforts or their bid to extract concessions from President Joe Biden on the debt ceiling.
