Rep. Kevin McCarthy bowed down to extremists in his tenure as Speaker of the United States House of Representatives,” said Congressman Kweisi Mfume. “The Republican Party has further divided our nation and our democracy. As Speaker, McCarthy unquestionably failed to establish common ground in the House of Representatives or even within his own party. Democrats remain united behind Leader Hakeem Jeffries in our quest to elect a balanced, fair, and ethical Speaker to reunite the Congress and move the nation forward,” he added. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:49:26Z |
