SO why are the better candidates scared to run for Speaker?
Great question.
Is Chaffetz the GOPe back up plan, since there’s so much pushback on McCarthy?
I have to admit, I have not followed politics of speaker election closely, so my opinion is not worth much. I just do not know if Chaffetz is the backup horse.
All I can posit is that from my observations, Chaffetz is more bold and less liberal than McCarthy. But that is not saying much!
