, joining a growing list of GOP House members who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump over the Jan. 6 insurrection who’ve since decided to exit Congress.
NBC News anchor Chuck Todd eventually asked Upton if he felt House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy could “both represent you and Marjorie Taylor Greene” if he were to become House speaker, prompting the congressman to cast serious doubts. Todd then wondered aloud if Upton felt that McCarthy might not even be elected speaker if the GOP takes the majority, considering that a number of pro-Trump lawmakers have already expressed reservations about his leadership.
