Rep. Kevin McCarthy said Monday that he would take back his speakership if the GOP conference asks him to return after voting to remove him last week.
“Look, the conference has to make that decision. I’m still a member. I’m going to continue to fight and act,” Mr. McCarthy told radio host Hugh Hewitt on Monday when asked if he would jump back if the House Republican Conference can’t agree on a replacement.
Last week, eight Republicans joined the House Democrats in a vote to oust Mr. McCarthy from his position. The GOP rebels said Mr. McCarthy failed to fight for conservative priorities, especially on spending, and made too many deals with Democrats. The Republicans who voted him out, led by Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida, were not happy with how the former speaker handled the potential government shutdown. Republicans failed to pass a conservative stopgap measure, prompting Mr. McCarthy to pass a clean stopgap bill that didn’t include any additional Ukraine funding or border security measures.
