House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is on Wall Street to deliver a speech to the New York Stock Exchange.House Speaker Kevin McCarthy will be on Wall Street Monday delivering a speech to the New York Stock Exchange.
As such, McCarthy has been unable to steer House Republicans to start delivering on broader pursuits - the GOP promises for border security or budget cuts to prevent a debt ceiling crisis, for starters. How he handles them will be the defining challenge that makes or breaks his next 100 days. But McCarthy is remaking the speaker's office in his image, including reclaiming a private room just steps from the House floor for meetings. The silver-haired father shuns many of the formal trappings of Congress - he may never return to the televised briefing room at the Capitol for formal news conferences - as he begins to tap into the enormous powers at his disposal.
Hard-right critics who withheld their support of McCarthy during the excruciating 15 ballots it took to become speaker until he agreed to their demands seem relatively satisfied at the outcome. But the struggle to become speaker is never far behind, thanks to a Trump-aligned power center in Congress that propped McCarthy up and could just as easily tear him back down.
The GOP shi&$$!! SHOW!!!

McCarthy is destroying the Republican Party and America. Trying to kill the economy. Go home. TraitorTrash
