- The flap between North Carolina GOP Ben Bishop when Fox News posted a story about his plans as the House votes to decide on a new speaker, with fellow Republican Congressman with a big lead, but not enough votes to win.
- The story was based on an earlier story in Roll Call in which the 58-year-old said: “We’re going to either see improvement up here … or I’m out.”
- Bishop said the interpretation that he’d quit if McCarthy won was inaccurate.
- “This story is incorrect. I said nothing of the kind — I will serve my term with all the force and vigor in me.”
