Rep. Kevin McCarthy's stunning ouster as speaker has stripped House Republicans of their most prolific fundraiser and set off uncertainty over whether his successor will amass enough donations to win Congress in 2024.
And just last week, McCarthy said in an announcement he would be giving $2.5 million to the NRCC while telling GOP lawmakers in a closed-door meeting he'd dish out the same amount to Protect the House 2024, his joint fundraising committee. Former President Donald Trump endorsed Jordan on social media early Friday morning, noting he's"STRONG on Crime, Borders, our Military/Vets, & 2nd Amendment." McCarthy aides have reportedly been making calls to boost Jordan's bid.
Spokeswoman Rachel Partlow for Burchett said the congressman"has not endorsed anyone for speaker as of yet," and she is"unsure if he plans to before the vote." "McCarthy takes a very hands-on approach to recruiting candidates and then guides them through the whole process," a senior Republican strategist told the Washington Examiner."He checks in with people, he guides people. He goes to their district and fundraises for them. He's not just hosting D.C. fundraisers. He flies around the country, and he really puts in a lot of work.
