PHOENIX — When you can't get anything done in Washington, you come home. On Wednesday, empty seats on airlines were quickly filled with members of Congress like Arizona's David Schweikert, Greg Stanton and Juan Ciscomani, who were heading back to their districts.
On Tuesday, the House Democratic caucus joined eight Republicans, including Congressmen Andy Biggs and Eli Crane of Arizona, in voting to vacate Kevin McCarthy as speaker. "That is not trustworthy. I feel it's dishonorable and I felt moving forward in a different direction was the right thing to do," Stanton said.
"You were betting on the come again. At some point, I urge you to stop betting on the come and bet on the reality. That's why I can't support the Speaker any longer," Biggs said.
