WASHINGTON — The Republicans vying to be the next House speaker will make their case to GOP lawmakers Tuesday, the first formal step to settle a race triggered a week ago after an internal revolt ousted Speaker Kevin McCarthy and left the House leaderless. Tensions are high, and the two declared candidates have already split the conference. Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La.
David Valadao, a fellow California Republican, and Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., a freshman who represents a swing district. “I know, among conversations that I’ve had with many colleagues, people are disgusted by what happened. It shouldn’t have happened,” Lawler told reporters Monday. “I think there’s a vast majority of the conference that really wants to get back to the work that we were all elected to do. And a lot of people believe that Kevin McCarthy is the right person to lead us,” he said.
