[1/3] House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) speaks to reporters after McCarthy was nominated by fellow Republicans to be their leader or the Speaker of the House if they take control in the next Congress, following House Republican leadership elections at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, U.S., November 15, 2022. "I won't be voting for Kevin McCarthy tomorrow. In an interview last week with the conservative Daily Caller website, Gaetz said: "I think he's just a shill of the establishment. I think that Kevin McCarthy is little more than a vessel through which lobbyists and special interests operate." The power struggle could undermine House Republicans' hopes of moving forward quickly on investigations into Biden's administration and family.
