McCarthy Reflects on Chaotic GOP Speaker Race, Urges Republicans to Unite and Move Forward

McCarthy questions how a small number of Republicans were able to cause chaos for the entire GOP conference and country in the Speakership race.

McCarthy believes it was validating to see other Republicans struggle to secure the Speakership after he went through 15 rounds of voting in January.

Majority Leader Steve Scalise narrowly won the nomination for Speaker but dropped out when it became clear he lacked the votes.

McCarthy says keeping the government open through the chaos was the right decision to avoid shutdown during global turmoil.

McCarthy says the GOP conference needs to figure out their issues, select a leader, and move forward.
