Spartz warns McCarthy she may seek reelection after all: ‘My party is failing the people’

JTN: Republican Indiana Rep. Victoria Spartz appears to be reconsidering her decision not to seek reelection in 2024 amid a spat with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy over his handling of the nation’s finances.

Spartz on Monday called McCarthy a “weak Speaker” and excoriated his “lack of leadership” following his negotiation of a continuing resolution with the House Freedom Caucus to avert a government shutdown. “Neither Republicans nor Democrats have the backbone to challenge the corrupt swamp that is bankrupting our children and grandchildren,” she warned. McCarthy that [i]f Spartz “is concerned about fighting stronger, I wish she would’ve run again and not quit.”

The Indiana lawmaker had announced in February that she would not seek reelection, but indicated Monday evening that her frustrations with McCarthy’s leadership had forced her to revisit the decision due to a fear that an unchallenged Republican establishment would not push for bold, necessary changes to American governance. more here
