Calls Grow for GOP to Stop McCarthy From Becoming House Speaker – Who Could Replace Him?

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy made it clear. The California congressman wants to be elevated to speaker of the House if the Republicans get majority control of the U.S House of Representatives once the 2022 midterm elections are finalized.

It could be goodbye, Nancy Pelosi. However, McCarthy should not be measuring the drapes for his new office just yet.

The final outcomes of many House races were still pending on Friday morning, although Republicans seem on track to get more than the 218 members needed for a majority. But as far as the speakership goes, not everyone shares McCarthy’s opinion that McCarthy is the guy for the job.
