GOP's minority leader Kevin McCarthy doesn't want to be called 'minority leader'
How about just "Kevin". Individual 1 thinks it's appropriate to call Democratic leaders, "Chuck and Nancy".
As Congress prepares for the Democratic majority to take over, some Republicans may be having a tough time relinquishing power.
ABC News reporter Tim Calahan reported Wednesday that Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) asked him to refer to his position as “Republican leader.”
Calahan reportedly shot back that the public is more familiar with the official terminology of “minority leader.”
@GOPLeader’s office has asked me to refer to the new position as “republican leader” I have said we must refer to it, as the public knows it, “minority leader.” https://t.co/unMh6AHSyO
