Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) took a crack at former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy Tuesday night, endorsing him for Republican National Committee chairman after current Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel announced she may step down. 

“I fully endorse Kevin McCarthy for RNC Chair,” Gaetz wrote on X. “Kevin is well organized and a very high-revenue fundraiser. He will also be well-liked by the RNC Committee. The RNC Chair doesn’t make any policy decisions, set any agenda, or negotiate against Democrats, ever. Kevin would be terrific.”
