McCaul, Rogers, Turner Point to National Security Concerns Surrounding Delayed Speakership

Washington, D.C.– House Foreign Affairs Committee Lead Republican Michael McCaul (R-TX), House Armed Services Committee Lead Republican Mike Rogers (R-AL), and House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Lead Republican Mike Turner (R-OH) released the following statement in support of Kevin McCarthy for House Speaker and the national security implications of delaying the speakership.

“As the incoming chairs of the national security committees, we strongly support Kevin McCarthy for speaker. McCarthy’s Commitment to America agenda outlines a stronger approach to countering China, a plan to investigate the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, and how a Republican majority will hold this administration accountable. The Biden administration is going unchecked and there is no oversight of the White House, State Department, Department of Defense, or the intelligence community. We cannot let personal politics place the safety and security of the United States at risk.”
