GOP in Disarray After McCarthy Ouster Leaves Party Without Leader or Fundraising Prowess

House Republicans are left without clear leadership and unable to conduct legislative business after Kevin McCarthy's ouster as speaker.

McCarthy was a top fundraiser and campaign strategist, raising hundreds of millions for the GOP. Replacing him will be difficult.

Other potential speaker candidates like Steve Scalise and Jim Jordan have fundraising experience but likely can't match McCarthy's prowess.

Endangered Republican incumbents in swing districts are worried the chaos will hamper crucial fundraising ahead of 2024.

Donors have expressed frustration with the disarray and may be hesitant to give unless changes are made to prevent future chaos.
