Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) brushed off threats to Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) top position, saying threats from conservative Republicans to remove him don’t hold water, The Hill reports.
Said Bacon: “It only takes four Republicans to potentially put [McCarthy] at risk and lose the speakership, but the fact is they have no alternative.
They have nobody else that they can offer to put up there that the 200 of us would ever vote for.”
