Biggs told the conservative streaming program “The Absolute Truth with Emerald Robinson” that McCarthy taking the top spot in the House was “not a foregone conclusion” after Republicans performed worse than expected on Election Day. “I would say maybe not that fast. Maybe we should have a good conversation within the confines of our inner body,” Biggs said. “I think we need to have a real conversation and see how people respond to the final results of this election and get a feel for his agenda and what he thinks he’s going to achieve. “If we’re going to go for eight months of performance art instead of actually doing things, then we’re going to fail to prepare for the 2024 election where we have to win to take back the White House, the Senate and the House. Biggs added. McCarthy announced his candidacy for president on Wednesday, a day after the midterm elections, and began gathering votes and support in the lower house. A source familiar with GOP discussions told CNN that about two dozen current and incoming members could vote against McCarthy’s leadership. But McCarthy faces no public challenges for the leadership and is backed by former President Trump.

While it didn’t see the huge red wave expected, the GOP is still on track to win a majority in the House even though the Senate remains in limbo. House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (La.) announced his bid to become the next majority leader Wednesday, positioning himself behind McCarthy to be the No. 2 Republican in the House. While Republicans may have a narrower majority in the House, Scalise said the “bottom line” is they will be in control.
