McCarthy and Scalise Secure Leadership Posts in GOP
Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California won the House majority leader post and Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana became the majority whip in a swift leadership reshuffle after Eric Cantor's primary defeat. Both will shape the GOP agenda ahead of the November midterms as party factions debate spending and strategy. Scalise touted a united conference while McCarthy, the party establishment pick, emphasized teamwork and fundraising strength. Conservative voices reacted with concern as Ted Cruz invited lawmakers to a June 24 discussion on a tougher line.
