Kevin McCarthy

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) talks to reporters about avoiding a government shutdown and launching an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, following a closed-door meeting with fellow Republicans at the Capitol in Washington, Thursday, Sept. 14, 2023. The most vulnerable House Republicans whose elections in swing districts next year will determine which party gains control of the chamber are overwhelmingly voicing their support for McCarthy's impeachment inquiry into Biden. Democrats say it's a stance that could come back to haunt them.
