House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is expressing extreme confidence in his chances of becoming Speaker next year if Republicans win control of the House in the midterm elections, suggesting that divine intervention is the only thing that can keep him from the gavel. McCarthy said in an interview with Punchbowl News published Monday that he believes he can win the votes of the House Republican Conference no matter how large a GOP majority is, that the prospect of losing does not keep him up at night, and that if he doesn’t win, it wasn’t in “God’s plan.” “I think I can win

Let's hope it's not in anyone's plan.

He is probably in like Flynn because there are so many RINOs and he is one. I hope the election is such that they will wake up and realize who it is they work for. Broken glass, baby!

I wish we had an actually conservative, competent Repub leader in the House.
I think Steve Scalise would do better than McCarthy.

Anybody heard the old saw "don't count your chickens before the eggs have hatched"?
Folks, the democrats still have an election to steal and there's NO GUARANTEE that Republicans of any flavor will rule the House. And steal it they will.

Watch by some contrived process Pelosi (or some other Democrat) somehow ends up Speaker of the House.

McCarthy’s phony humility is nauseating. He is buying the votes he needs and it’s done deal.

From his mouth to God's ear. I'd like an actual Conservative to be the next Speaker of the House and it IS NOT McCarthy...

#12 - Why do you think he reminds you of Paul Ryan? Maybe Ryan and he and others in leadership are "the same"? But, the GOPe, aka UNIPARTY, is the best we can do. (That's a Mitch McConnell quote after every vote.)

And if he wins it, I'll assume that it is Satan's plan.

We do not need a dumb, weak, compromised and disloyal (remember, he blamed Trump for the FBI staged January 6 "riot" after Trump touted McCarthy's re-election) pretty boy as speaker. If he only had the balls that hag Pelosi has, I might feel better about him. But he doesn't. We need a smart, cagey, rock solid conservative, beholden to no Rhinos or the deep state, a gutter fighter that revels in winning bruising, important battles for the continuance of this great country. GOD, FAMILY, COUNTRY, Kevin. If you ever said those three words, I also might feel better about you. But you haven't and you won't. From Kevin's lips to God's ears; republicans win both the House and Senate and the new majorities throw-out both McConnell and McCarthy in favor of tough, principled, unafraid conservative leaders.

My, aren't we arrogant.
Kevin,
The election hasn't happened yet, so stop counting your chickens.
Also, you still have to be voted in as Speaker, and many of us can think of alternatives.
What a self centered politician.
