Kevin McCarthy prepares to assume the role of Speaker of the House; it is very clear that voters, especially Republicans and Independents, want to see more assertive leadership from the GOP than the stereotypical, sub-par behavior that has been the norm for several cycles. McCarthy is going to be Speaker, but he\u2019s really going to have to step up his performance if he wants to garner the trust and support of the American people, especially independents and Republicans who poll identically on this issue.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The poll comes as Sen. <a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/breaking-mitch-mcconnell-wins-senate-GOP-leadership-election\">Mitch McConnell<\/a> won his reelection bid to lead Republicans in the Senate, beating out challenger Sen. Rick Scott as many senators called for the election to be <a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/breaking-senate-gop-call-for-leadership-election-to-be-postponed\">postponed<\/a> until after Georgia\u2019s runoff elections, set to take place on December 6.<\/p>\n<p>In the House, current House Minority Leader <a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/breaking-kevin-mccarthy-wins-nomination-for-house-speaker\">Kevin McCarthy<\/a> won the election to be the party\u2019s nominee for Speaker of the House, after Republicans regained control of the chamber following the midterms.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy\u2019s challenger, Rep. Andy Biggs, lost, with the vote coming to 188 to 31. McCarthy now needs to obtain at least 218 votes to become the new speaker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new poll released on Tuesday revealed that a majority of American voters believe that Republicans need new leadership in the upcoming term of Congress.\u00a0 The poll, conducted by The<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1748803,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[547],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1748797","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-bongino-report"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1748797","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1748797"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1748797\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1748803"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1748797"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1748797"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1748797"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
