McCarthy Wins Tense Speaker Bid
BY MICHAEL DEMENTJEVS
6WDৼ:ULWHU
After Republicans gained a
narrow majority of 222 seats
in the House of Representa-
tives with Democrats win-
ning 213 following the 2022
Midterm Elections, Speaker
of the House Kevin McCa-
rthy was nominated by the
House Republican Conference
with Democrats nominating
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y.
to replace outgoing speaker
Nancy Pelosi.
While Jefferies was unan-
imously nominated, McCa-
rthy faced opposition from
members of the far-right
House Freedom Caucus with
Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz.,
challenging McCarthy for
the nomination. Despite this
challenge, McCarthy won the
nomination. 3KRWRFRXUWHV\RIÁLFNUFRP
