WASHINGTON — Before the race to succeed him even officially got underway, outgoing Speaker Paul Ryan endorsed Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., in an interview on NBC News' "Meet the Press" that will air Sunday.
"I think we all believe that Kevin is the right person," Ryan, who announced his retirement this week, told moderator Chuck Todd in an excerpt of the exclusive interview released Friday.

Of course he did. Keep the Swamp in the hands of the Swamp!
Which means McCarthy is Deep State Prostitute. Pass.
Note... to... self: not Kevin McCarthy...
NO!!!!!
All the more mccarthy shouldn’t be chosen.
I’m shocked...not.
I have suspected that McCarthy is the real power broker running the GOP-e, all the way back to GWB.
Someone needs to point out that Kevin is more interested in his pecker than in being Speaker. Just bring up Renee Elmers and he will go away.
Well now I know who I don’t want
McCarthy is the next Swampster in line. I’m assuming that this current crop of Republican Representatives don’t choose the Speaker of the House but instead, those who win their elections in November will choose. There will be significant turnover in the House GOPe ranks.
That’s enough for me to oppose him.
Kevin McCarthy seems like a dullard. Dense. Not too bright.
The House needs a more qualified person. Someone who is smart, brave, capable of negotiating, more eager to win than settle, someone who could care less what the Left thinks of him personally. Does that person exist in Congress today?
Meet the new boss.....
Read a great post earlier: BEST REASON TO LEAVE RYAN IN AS SPEAKER UNTIL JANUARY. If we can just elect more real conservatives in November it’ll weaken Ryan and McCarthy’s chances and we can pick Mark Meadows or Jim Jordan once the new majority is sworn in.
Yeah, a Ryan recommendation should be the kiss of death.
If RINOyan wants him, he’s worthless.
No. We don’t need anyone from a failed state.
