‘Time for the Republicans to get their act together’: Democrats slam GOP following failed Kevin McCarthy house speaker vote

Democrat House Leader Hakeem Jeffries slammed the Republicans Thursday after Rep. Kevin McCarthy failed in numerous bids to become the speaker of the House. “It’s time for the Republicans to get their act together,” Jeffries said with Democrat House Whip Katherine Clark adding that the Republican “outreach to get power for Kevin McCarthy at any expense is paving the way for the policies that directly assault American families.”
