House Republicans moved forward with their leadership elections, choosing minority leader Kevin McCarthy.
"Personally, I think it is insane, it would be nuts for us to have leadership elections now and simply re-elect the same leadership," complained Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Tex., on Fox Business.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer speaks with reporters following a closed-door caucus lunch, at the Capitol in Washington, Tuesday, July 19, 2022. "I don’t think you’re waiting for me," said Schumer to a phalanx of reporters."The person you’re waiting for might take a while." Republicans couldn’t muster 25 of the 49 votes the party will have in the Senate next year to delay the leadership elections. And McConnell didn’t even break a sweat, cruising to a 38-10 victory. "We complain about a bunch of stuff. We’re supposed to be the fiscal conservatives. We’ve gone along with all the spending bills. We’re $31 trillion in debt," said Sen. Mike Braun, R-Ind.
Rep. Clay Higgins, speaks during the House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing with victims' family members and survivors of the Buffalo, New York and Uvalde, Texas massacres on June 8, 2022, on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC.
