Graham Says Ousting McCarthy Would Be a ‘Disaster’
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) warned Sunday that ousting Speaker Kevin McCarthy would be a “disaster” for Republicans, Politico reports.
Said Graham: “I think Kevin is the right guy at the right time. The only way he loses his job is if a handful of Republicans join up with the Democratic party to fire him. That would be a disaster for the future of the Republican party.”
