Here are the GOP lawmakers targeted by McCarthy in new audio recordings

New audio recordings of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) speaking critically of some of his colleagues after the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol are raising new questions about his future leadership of the conference.

 

GOP lawmakers leaving a conference meeting on Wednesday offered support for McCarthy, suggesting the tempest will be put to the side ahead of the midterm elections.

 

But they could come up again if a rival conservative wanted to challenge McCarthy for the Speakership should Republicans win back the House majority in November.
