Who would replace Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House? [View all]
Who would replace Kevin McCarthy as speaker? Everybody knows little Kevin is a beard for MTG who is the real power. He's on fragile ground as far as somebody challenging his speakership.
Who would replace him? I don't see MTG having enough solid support to get voted in even with all her extreme compatriots in the House.
But she and her fellow extremists would surely disable chances for a moderate Republican as speaker.
Kevin is probably in a pretty safe position as a placeholder instead of an actual leader.
