Exclusive - Trump Backs McCarthy for Speaker, Tells Opponents to Stand Down: ‘I Think He Deserves the Shot’
Former President Donald Trump told conservatives currently withholding support from House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy in McCarthy’s speakership bid to stand down.
McCarthy is already calling himself speaker-elect, even though the actual election won't take place until the new Congress convenes in January. Remember Obama calling himself president-elect and having a plaque that said so? I don't call emulating Obama a good sign, and I don't understand Trump's support of him, except that Trump has made a lot of other bad picks for unfathomable reasons. Maybe he does it thinking it will make him more acceptable to the political crowd, but by now he ought to know that gains him nothing.
Hear,HEAR!!!
After Barr and Wray, does this really surprise anyone?
Curious now who DeSantis would back. Hope someone puts the question to him.
