Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy criticizes Speaker Mike Johnson’s decision to send lawmakers home early last month, saying the House should not keep recessing. McCarthy makes the remarks in an interview on Fox News’s “Hannity,” addressing internal divisions among Republicans that have recently shaped House operations. According to both outlets, McCarthy directly urges Johnson to “stop recessing,” arguing that the approach could carry risks for Republicans heading into the November elections. The criticism centers on the timing of the House’s early return procedures and the political and practical impact of extended breaks amid ongoing disagreements within the party. The reports describe McCarthy’s comments as a public call for Johnson to keep the chamber in session and to manage the legislative agenda in a way that does not prolong downtime for members. Neither outlet indicates that McCarthy is seeking a specific legislative reversal tied to the recess itself; instead, the focus is on the broader effect of sending lawmakers home early and the potential electoral consequences he warns about.
