The GOP's Struggle for House Majority: McCarthy's Downfall and the Battle for Speakership

Republican Congressman Tom Cole warns that conservative hardliners who helped oust Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House could "very easily" cause the GOP to lose its House majority in 2024. Cole believes that these hardliners, who successfully removed McCarthy, have hurt the party's chances of holding onto the majority and have disrupted the House without an alternative strategy or candidate. He also criticizes their actions for potentially deterring strong candidates from running in future elections. While some suggest Cole as a potential consensus candidate, he downplays his chances and highlights Majority Leader Steve Scalise and Rep. Jim Jordan as leading contenders to succeed McCarthy.
