McCarthy and his well-heeled allies are seeking retribution against the Republicans who voted to remove him as speaker last year, and one way he’s tried to get back at them — aside from savaging them in the media — is by backing their challengers in primary races. The former speaker saw his first shot at retribution go up in flames Tuesday, as his nominee to oust Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C.
Bob Good were considered the most vulnerable targets in the group McCarthy has called the “crazy eight led by Matt Gaetz.” Good, who endorsed Ron DeSantis in the Republican presidential primary, is the only member of that group who’s received a full-on condemnation from Trump this year. Trump endorsed John McGuire, the McCarthy-aligned opponent, in the primary.
