Nancy Pelosi To Blame for Trump Victory: Kevin McCarthy
|
| |
NewWeek ^
| 11/6/24
Nancy Pelosi's efforts to install Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee deserves blame for the vice president's loss against Donald Trump, according to former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy. Harris became the Democratic candidate in August following the withdrawal of President Joe Biden on July 21. She
secured the 1,976 party delegates needed to clinch the nomination without having to compete in a primary election as is conventional for a presidential nominee. McCarthy has touted this, and the belief that Biden was pushed out by his own party, as a reason for Harris' loss. "You've got to blame Nancy...

NY Post ^

WASHINGTON — Kevin McCarthy could lead a new house soon, The Post has learned. The
ousted former speaker of the House of Representatives is widely seen as a top contender to be former President Donald Trump’s first chief of staff if he retakes the White House following the Nov. 5 election, according to sources familiar with the deliberations. No final decision has been made and there is no sign that McCarthy is campaigning for the coveted role — though one person said the Californian has shown openness to being part of a second Trump administration in some capacity.

KEVIN McCARTHY ON KAMALA HARRIS

Did anyone cath Kevin McCarthy on Gutfeld last night? When
asked about Harris and if is a dumb away from the cameras as she is when giving her word salad interviews, he said she is. He said that when he would go talk to Biden, Biden would be reading off note cards, and when Harris walked into the room, Biden was still the smartest Dem in the room.

McCarthy’s last flop

| 8/18/24 | Juliegrace Brufke
Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's revenge tour is sputtering to an end this week, with just one primary win to show for it. Why
it matters: McCarthy's former colleagues complain he's effectively lit millions of dollars on fire and made it harder for new leaders to do their jobs. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) is expected to win easily on Tuesday despite a McCarthy-linked PAC spending more than $3 million against him. "McCarthy thinks about me a lot more than I think about him," Gaetz told us. Between the lines: Multiple House Republicans and senior staff took issue with McCarthy's public...

Earlier this week, crooked New York Judge Juan Merchan rejected a recusal request for the third time in Trump’s “hush money” case. The
dirty judge’s decision was released to the public on Wednesday. Judge Merchan’s daughter’s platform made tens of millions of dollars from her father’s case against Trump. President Trump is STILL under a partial gag order in the case. Can someone please explain how this is legal? And why are Republicans not outraged by this criminal lawfare against the party’s presidential candidate? In May, Trump was convicted on all 34 felony counts after he was accused of paying...

Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) says former President Trump should stop questioning the size of Vice President Harris’s crowds at her campaign rallies and instead focus on her as a candidate. “You’ve

Jamie Raskin for saying that “Trump should be impeached before he was even sworn in.” “This is a question that’s for the whole American public. We’ve gotta get beyond it,” McCarthy added.
