‘As Long As It Takes’, Congressman Good Holding Out On Speaker Of The House Vote

Published on

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) isn’t the only congressman holding out until Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) throws in the towel for Speak Of The House. Republican Bob Good of Virginia is also willing to hold out for as “long as it takes”, he told ABC News.

After another 3 rounds of voting came to a close Wednesday evening, a new Speaker of the House has still not been elected, and Good said that it’s time for Kevin McCarthy to withdraw.

“It’s just a matter of time until Kevin McCarthy finally realizes he doesn’t have the 218 votes he’s not going to get 218 votes,” Good said.

Good voted against McCarthy in all six votes.

He said voters in the 5th District of Virginia have been telling him for three years now not to support McCarthy for speaker.

“I said I would assess him based on his first two years, during my first term in Congress and whether or not he demonstrated what I thought was needed to lead us in a majority as Republicans. He certainly has not done that,” Good said. “We shouldn’t be in a hurry to choose a poor Republican leader with a demonstrated history of failure in terms of fighting for republican principles.”

Good posted to Twitter on Wednesday reminding the American People that he is “not a bought-and-paid-for politician” and why he was sent to Washington in the first place.

Other Virginia Congressmen, Rep. Ben Cline (R-6th District) and Rep. Morgan Griffith (R-9th District) joined the majority of Republicans in voting for McCarthy.

The House has adjourned until noon on Thursday.
