Rep. Andy Biggs: Kevin McCarthy Will Never Be Speaker

Freedom Caucus Rep. Andy Biggs writes:

During this midterm campaign, I attended hundreds of events in my district, around Arizona, and around the country. The issue I was asked about most often was whether I or the Republicans in the House, or the Republicans in the Senate, would keep the same leaders. Not only did my constituents want the “red wave” that didn’t materialize, they also wanted new leadership.

They told me that they want a leader who will take on the Biden Administration. A leader who will not acquiesce in the abrogation of our rights. They want someone who will use every tool, every procedure, and all of the processes available to fight against the radical Left. Our current candidate for speaker doesn’t have the 218 votes necessary to become speaker on January 3, 2023.  I do not believe he will ever get to 218 votes, and I refuse to assist him in his effort to get those votes.
