Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is reportedly planning a revenge tour against Republicans who voted to oust him last year. Local media sources have revealed that McCarthy is seeking to retaliate, with the initial target being Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace of South Carolina. Operatives aligned with McCarthy are funneling significant funds into these races through outside groups, with Mace's challenge on Tuesday marking the first test.
House Freedom Caucus Chair Bob Good is also set to face a primary in Virginia next week, while Representatives Eli Crane of Arizona and Matt Gates of Florida have upcoming primary challenges this summer. Despite these developments, McCarthy denies that his actions are driven by revenge and claims he is not specifically targeting anyone.
