House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to join Las Cruces rally for former U.S. Rep. Herrell House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is set to join a rally in Las Cruces, New Mexico, in support of former U.S. Rep. Yvette Herrell. The rally is scheduled for Saturday, October 16, and is expected to draw a large crowd of supporters. Herrell, who served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 2019 to 2021, is running for the seat again in the 2022 midterm elections. She is seeking to unseat incumbent U.S. Rep. Xochitl Torres Small, who defeated Herrell in the 2018 election. McCarthy's appearance at the rally is a significant boost for Herrell's campaign. As the leader of the Republican Party in the House of Representatives, McCarthy is one of the most influential figures in the party. His endorsement and support can go a long way in helping Herrell win the election. The rally is also an opportunity for Herrell to connect with voters and rally support for her campaign. Herrell is a popular figure in the Republican Party, and her conservative views on issues such as immigration and gun rights have won her a loyal following. The race between Herrell and Torres Small is expected to be one of the most closely watched and hotly contested races in the 2022 midterm elections. Both candidates have strong support from their respective parties, and the outcome of the race could have significant implications for the balance of power in Congress. The rally in Las Cruces is just one of many events that Herrell has planned in the lead-up to the election. She has been crisscrossing the state, meeting with voters and attending events to build support for her campaign. With the support of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and a strong grassroots campaign, Herrell is well-positioned to win the election and return to Congress. The rally in Las Cruces is just the beginning of what promises to be an exciting and closely watched race.
