DeSantis vs. McCarthy: The Battle for GOP Supremacy

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is targeting House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, aligning himself with conservative members of Congress who are threatening a government shutdown. DeSantis criticized McCarthy's record on government spending and accused him of contributing to the federal debt. The feud allows DeSantis to position himself as an anti-Washington candidate and boost his image on the campaign trail. It also provides an opportunity for DeSantis to pick at possible conservative misgivings about elements of former President Donald Trump's record. McCarthy, a close ally of Trump, fired back, drawing criticism from some DeSantis supporters.
