McCarthy yields to the most radical wing of his party in exchange for the presidency of the US House of Representatives



Republican Kevin McCarthy had dreamed of the moment win the presidency of the US House of Representatives. “It has been easy, huh? It’s not how it starts, but how it ends”, she has assured after getting it to the fifteenth ballot.

It has achieved it at dawn in Washington and after four days of maximum expectation around the Chamber.

McCarthy has had to grant big concessions to the score of republicans they have been blocking your choice. In the penultimate ballot, the fourteenth, only one vote separated him from victory.

McCarthy himself has clashed with a reluctant republican, asking him to change the vote. They have even had to forcefully take away another representative who seemed to want to go beyond words.

Even Donald Trump has intervened in full vote. She has done so by calling Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and asking her to pass the phone to one of the rogue Republicans.

Kevin McCarthy, victorious, has recognized the role of the former president of the USA in his election.

To the most radical wing of the party, McCarthy has conceded to end the commission of inquiry into the storming the capitol and create one that investigates the Biden government and his son, Hunter Biden.

In addition, McCarthy has agreed to remove the metal detectors he ordered installed Nancy Pelosi in the hemicycle. Precisely to prevent access with weapons after the assault on January 6 of last year.

He has done all this to achieve the long-awaited presidency. McCarthy has been a California representative since 2007.. In 2020, she endorsed Donald Trump, whom he called “the man who has kept more promises than he has.”

McCarthy also defended Donald Trump’s theory on the electoral fraud.

Anti-abortionist, opposed to shielding homosexual marriage, he has also promoted laws to finance the border wall with Mexico.

Joe Biden has asked him to row together in this context of tension. The plaque with his name is already on display at the Capitol just two years after the assault.
