.SpeakerMcCarthy could face a possible ouster from his top position just months into the new Congress after receiving blowback for reportedly blaming other members of his party for failing to release a budget proposal.
A New York Times article released earlier this week detailed private conversations between McCarthy and some of his allies that he did not have confidence in top GOP members to deliver a budget proposal. That report prompted criticism from several Republicans, who argued the comments undermine GOP influence and open the party up to accusations of infighting before a crucial election cycle.
“The agreements made by Speaker McCarthy, among other things, is to begin the ten-year balanced budget NOW and with his initiatives & directives,” Rep. Ralph Norman said in a statement. “It’s HIS responsibility to get the 218 votes to ensure our nation’s financial security JUST AS HE DID IN SECURING THE 218 votes for speaker.”
“Our nation is staring down the barrel of a debt crisis, and my budget committee colleagues and I are focused on one thing: passing a budget that will stop this reckless spending and restore fiscal sanity in Washington before it’s too late,” the pair said in a statement to Axios.
