Kevin McCarthy and the Steering Committee

I think if we reform the process and create a steering committee where everybody feels like they have an equal shot, I think that could move votes in favor of Kevin McCarthy. One thing I have emphasized to my colleagues who are opposed to Kevin as Speaker of the House is that no group should have special treatment. We're the Republican Party. We don't believe in seniority. We believe in merit-based appointments. That means that everyone should be able to go in front of the steering committee and persuade them that they deserve to be on this committee or that committee. No Speaker can guarantee any individual member. It's a committee. And if we can open up that process, reform that process so
