From Rep. Nick Langworthy: “The House of Representatives saw the deeply dishonorable actions of eight disgruntled members who have chosen to align with the Democrats and President Joe Biden to vacate our Conference’s Speaker. While this is a disgrace to our institution, we will not be silenced. Our work is far from over, and our commitment to the principles and responsibilities that we were elected to uphold as the majority remains steadfast. We will reorganize swiftly and resolutely to continue the crucial work that lies ahead.”
From Congresswoman Claudia Tenney:“Sadly, a small group of Republicans teamed up with the Democrats to plunge our conference into a leadership race and sideline our effort to pass conservative appropriations bills.
“Instead of working together to pass spending cuts, gain operational control of our borders, rein in Biden’s bloated bureaucracy, and hold the corrupt Biden family accountable through oversight functions, Republicans will remain divided amid important negotiations with Biden and Schumer. Speaker McCarthy’s magnanimous and courageous decision to step aside gives Republicans one last chance to unify, come together, elect a speaker, and deliver conservative wins for the American people.”
