The future of Kevin McCarthy’s GOP

Career Republican KEVIN MCCARTHY is hopeful for the future of the GOP. He often recounts his rejection for an internship with a congressional seat he was eventually elected to, citing his experience as uniquely American. He told ABC News, “I got elected to that seat I couldn't get an internship for, and I got to be the 55th speaker of the House. Tell me any other country is that possible in.”

McCarthy’s endless political optimism extends not only to himself but also to the state of his party. McCarthy personally recruited and actively supported commonsense candidates for office who have helped reshape the Republican Party – several of whom have become Senators, Governors, and cabinet secretaries. Overall, under his leadership, dozens of new Republican women, minorities, and veterans were elected to Congress “to usher in an era of ‘young gun’ conservatives.” McCarthy believes in a constructive future for the GOP, sharing his aspirations for a more effective, efficient, and accountable federal government with hosts worldwide.
