Republicans aired their dirty laundry in public this week as loyalists of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and a band of 20 rebel hard-liners clashed over the speaker gavel.
McCarthy ultimately prevailed in the early hours of Saturday after enduring a whopping 15 rounds of voting, scenes not seen in more than a century.Here are the winners and losers in the dramatic House GOP flare-up.Democrats had a field day in the speakership debacle, eating popcorn and mocking their Republican counterparts who were in complete disarray.
The Freedom Caucus has a history of putting up a fuss and scaring off members of the so-called Republican establishment. Back in 2015, members of the Freedom Caucus flexed their power to pressure former Speaker John Boehner into resigning and thwarted McCarthy's quest for the gavel at the time. A key concession he gave reportedly entailed reviving a procedural tool known as the motion to vacate that will enable one member to trigger it and render his speakership in peril. McCarthy has pointed out that the tool had been intact under prior speakerships before former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi scrapped it, but it will likely loom over his tenure.
