- As he aims to expand the Republican majority in the House of Representatives in next year’s elections, Speaker Kevin McCarthy is off to a fast start when it comes to building a formidable war chest.
- McCarthy hauled in a record $12 million for House Republicans on Wednesday night as he headlined his first major fundraiser of the 2024 election cycle.
- The function held at the Conrad Hotel in the nation’s capital and in honor of McCarthy’s hard-fought ascension last month to the speaker’s chair, attracted nearly everyone from House GOP leadership and committee chairs. It was hosted by longtime McCarthy friend and ally and veteran lobbyist Jeff Miller.
