Kevin McCarthy just like John Boehner did, put the country and the Congress and the conference before his own interest. It was an honorable thing to do. I think he recognized and shared with the conference that he was afraid his candidacy might further divide the caucus and further divide the party across the country.
Jolly comments on McCarthy's decision to drop out of the House Speaker race, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing the party's unity over personal ambition.

Joe Biden will come to Florida, and there`s only one way that Ron DeSantis should handle that, with grace, with hospitality, and with gratitude for the federal government.
Ron DeSantis knows that the Florida economy cannot absorb the tragedy that just hit. The federal government and Washington will need national Democrats to agree to help Ron DeSantis.
