He explained this is because Democrats are steamrolling laws that don\u2019t align with the needs of the American people, namely Joe Biden\u2019s nearly $2 trillion coronavirus relief bill.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook what happened this morning at 2:00 a.m., Nancy Pelosi put about a $2 trillion bill and there was a vote on the floor. She put a tunnel in Silicon Valley that has nothing to do with COVID into the bill,\u201d McCarthy stated. \u201cWe wanted to take that money and give it to the kids to get them back in school. It\u2019s an easy discussion.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Look what happened this morning at 2am:<br \/>\u2022 Nancy Pelosi snuck in a $140 million dollar tunnel near her district\u2014which has nothing to do with COVID.<br \/>\u2022 Republicans voted to shift that money to kids&#8217; mental health services instead.<br \/>\u2022 Democrats blocked the money for the kids. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5dluuyR1hy\">pic.twitter.com\/5dluuyR1hy<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Kevin McCarthy (@GOPLeader) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GOPLeader\/status\/1365807357788307458?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 27, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>On Saturday, House Democrats passed the baton off to the Democrat-controlled Senate regarding the passage of the bill. The bill moved through the lower chamber by a largely partisan vote.<\/p>\n<p>Several Republicans in both chambers of Congress have deemed the bill a \u201cliberal wish list.\u201d They took issue with several provisions of the bill, including raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour and bailing out blue states struggling with the coronavirus.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy believes this will boost the GOP\u2019s image heading into the next polls.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want people back to work, back to school, back to health. Pelosi wants to put more tunnels, more waste, and the Democrats voted for it. It\u2019s a clear place who\u2019s standing for the American public and who\u2019s standing for corporations,\u201d McCarthy said. \u201cIt\u2019s the Republican Party today and it\u2019s what we\u2019re going to be tomorrow and in the future. And that\u2019s why America is going to be stronger, because we\u2019ll put America first.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The minority leader hopes more Americans will look to the GOP to tend to the needs of all residents, building off the momentum gained in 2020 when Republicans gained 10 seats in the House.<\/p>\n<p>Many representatives in the GOP freshman class were women and came from minority communities.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Kevin McCarthy celebrates the 15 House seats picked up in 2020 by GOP women and minorities. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GOPLeader?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@GOPLeader<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AmericaUncanceled?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AmericaUncanceled<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/CPAC2021?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#CPAC2021<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/t5vM180SAp\">pic.twitter.com\/t5vM180SAp<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 CPAC 2021 (@CPAC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CPAC\/status\/1365761926710591488?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 27, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe got closer than anybody thought we could get.

My dearest friend who is a hardcore Republican said at best we could lose 10 and let me give you a little secret and a little facts, because I want you to tell your friends, especially your liberal friends, this is the first time since 1994,\u201d McCarthy said. \u201cNo incumbent Republican lost. We beat 15 Democrats.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, officials within the GOP are gearing up for the midterm elections and setting their sights on 47 seats to flip. Millions of dollars have already been raised to give Republicans a boost for the long road ahead towards November 2022.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/fda-approves-johnson-johnson-covid-vaccine\/\">FDA Approves Johnson &#038; Johnson COVID Vaccine<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2274354,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/dzm0ugdauank9.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/AP21058742416771-655x437.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"McCarthy: Today\u2019s GOP is standing up for the American public","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-180086","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/dzm0ugdauank9.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/AP21058742416771-655x437.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"McCarthy: Today\u2019s GOP is standing up for the American public","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180086","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=180086"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180086\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2274354"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=180086"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=180086"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=180086"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
