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.
