Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) will have to fight to keep his seat.
David Giglio, who previously lost a congressional bid for the state's 13th district, is running as an “America First Republican” who will “fight alongside President Donald Trump in 2024 as he WAGES WAR against the corrupt uniparty,” according to Giglio's campaign website.
Giglio also took direct aim at McCarthy, who was recently ousted from his post when eight Republicans joined Democrats in favor of a motion to vacate the chair of Speaker.
“Kevin McCarthy FAILED the American people by not keeping his promises and capitulating to the corrupt Biden Regime and the radical Democrats,” Giglio said on the website.
“Americans are fed up with the status quo and hungry for change. I intend to do whatever it takes to fight, win, and deliver it for them!” he said on the campaign's donation page. “Help me DEFEAT the Swamp by making a generous donation below and together we will send an America First fighter to Washington!”
Shortly after his removal as Speaker, McCarthy shot down reports that he would vacate his seat early, and said he planned to run for reelection.
“I'm not resigning. I got a lot more work to do,” McCarthy told reporters.
