Kevin McCarthy lost votes for 9 rounds in January, and never gained 1 vote until the 12th round, when 14 of the 20 flipped. Jim Jordan has only been voted on twice, and lost a net of 1 vote. He will win if we keep voting.

The “SS Fairness Act” is not fair, as it unfairly rewards individuals who did not pay into SS during the yrs in which they were qualifying for a taxpayer-funded govt pension. It will cost $200B over 10 yrs, and accelerate the insolvency of SS for everyone. We don’t have the $$!

It’s still a NO.
Senate deal finally released after more than four months of talks. It’s 370 pages and would cost $118 billion, including aid to Ukraine, Taiwan and Israel.
Included in it: Bipartisan border deal cut by Sinema, Lankford and Murphy. Key test vote: Wednesday when 60 will be needed.

Kevin McCarthy put a CR on the Floor that got 209 Democrat votes, since it kept in place the Biden-Pelosi-Schumer policies that are destroying the country and the spending levels that are bankrupting us. Sadly, it also got 126 Republican votes. Uni-Party rule.

We need more courageous conservative warriors like Matt Gaetz speaking truth in Washington!
The way to fund the government is not by doing it the same way Congress has since the mid-90s, where it's one up or down vote on the entire government all at once.
We should have separate single-subject spending bills. @SpeakerMcCarthy promised that in January. He is in breach of that promise.
I'm not here to hold the government hostage. I'm here to hold Kevin McCarthy to his word.

This is Kevin McCarthy’s bio page for the upcoming meeting in Davos, hosted by the WEF. McCarthy was elected the Majority Leader by the House Republican caucus in November 2022.
