Congresswoman Monica De La Cruz (TX-15) issued the following statement after the vote to oust House Speaker Kevin McCarthy: "Today marks a challenging moment for the House as an institution. Rather than pursuing border security and restoring fiscal responsibility to the nation's capital, a small group of DC opportunists selfishly joined forces with Democrats to unseat a Republican House Speaker. This is a distraction from solving the border crisis and holding the Biden administration accountable. I thank Kevin McCarthy for advancing one of the strongest agendas in the history of Congress. I urge my colleagues to end this political drama and focus their attention on delivering results for the American people.” |
