Texas Republican Congressman-elect Dan Crenshaw joined 'Your World' on Thursday to sound off on holdouts refusing to back Rep-elect Kevin McCarthy for Speaker.
"It's like they're on the campaign trail just screaming slogans that their consultants told them to say. Meanwhile, they're fundraising off of this."
However, despite the concessions, Crenshaw claimed some of the no-McCarthy lawmakers are still voting against him. Donalds received the majority of non-McCarthy votes, while Hern scored a smaller handful. Rep. Victoria Spartz, R-Ind., again voted"present," and the entire Democratic caucus remained united behind Rep.-elect Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y.
Crenshaw added that he believes Donalds, a popular second-term lawmaker from Naples, Florida, is"not a credible candidate," saying he"started [running for Speaker] five minutes ago.""[Donalds] didn't raise hundreds of millions of dollars to win the Republican majority in multiple election cycles. No," he said.
