Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) just got some news that he never expected.
McCarthy is going to be primaried.
Not only is he getting primaried, but he is getting challenged by someone who is clearly trying to align himself with Trump.
The Challenge
McCarthy was exposed when he was ousted as the Speaker of the House.
Even though he enjoyed the endorsement of Donald Trump, there was a contingent of MAGA Republicans that wanted him gone, literally pitting Trump people against each other in the House.
Now small business owner David Giglio is going to primary McCarthy in the hopes of ousting him if he can somehow get MAGA voters behind him.
Giglio stated, “Kevin McCarthy has failed the American people.
“I am excited to announce my campaign to defeat Kevin McCarthy in California’s 20th Congressional District.
“After years of being sold out to special interests, the people of the Central Valley deserve an America First Republican fighting for them in Washington and working alongside President Donald Trump to WAGE WAR against the corrupt uniparty!
“Kevin McCarthy was removed as Speaker by 8 courageous members of his party for failing to keep to his promises and capitulating to Joe Biden and the radical Democrats.
“Kevin McCarthy must be defeated.”
Donald Trump likes to endorse candidates in the primary to add to his winning record, so it will be very telling to see what he does in this race.
If he endorses McCarthy, the race is over, but if he sits on the sideline in this primary race, it tells me that secretly, Trump is hoping the Giglio beats him and he gets a true loyalist in the House.
