Rep. McCaul: A ‘Nuclear Option’ To Make McCarthy Speaker ‘Is Being Talked About’

‘We would prefer that all Republicans stick together’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

MCCAUL: “I mean, it could be. We would prefer that all Republicans stick together. I don’t know if that can happen at this point in time. There is one other option, Neil, the nuclear option where a vote would be made on the plurality of votes, not the magical 218 number that you’re talking about. But that would be a very dangerous move as well because then the 20 or so that don’t like Kevin McCarthy or won’t vote for him would have to make a decision ‘Do I vote for McCarthy or for somebody else that then could throw the speakership to the Democratic Party?’”
