House Freedom Caucus Chairman Scott Perry rejected House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy’s bid hours before the vote for speaker of the House.
FILE – House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., rushes to his office with reporters in pursuit, at the Capitol in Washington, Thursday, May 12, 2022.
