Kevin McCarthy Endorses Challenger to Matt Gaetz, Escalating GOP Feud

In a sharp departure from party unity, former Speaker McCarthy supports a primary challenger against Rep. Gaetz, likening him to Hunter Biden.

McCarthy publicly backs Aaron Dimmock, a pro-life, pro-Second Amendment candidate, against Gaetz in the upcoming Republican primary.
Gaetz retaliates with defiance, mocking Dimmock's stance on diversity and labeling him a 'DEI enthusiast'.
The feud stems from Gaetz's role in ousting McCarthy as Speaker, which has led to a bitter and public rivalry.
Allegations of sexual misconduct and drug use continue to cloud Gaetz's political career, intensifying the primary battle.
McCarthy's endorsement signifies a significant break in traditional GOP solidarity, possibly influencing other intra-party conflicts.
