Although McCarthy said in January that Trump "bears responsibility" for the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, he ultimately voted against impeaching Trump. He later met with Trump in Florida and put out a statement after the meeting embracing Trump as a leader in the Republican Party's future. McCarthy said Trump "committed to helping elect Republicans in the House and Senate in 2022."
He added that a "united conservative movement will strengthen the bonds of our citizens and uphold the freedoms our country was founded on."
A recent Politico/Morning Consult post-impeachment trial poll shows Trump remains popular in the party. In the survery, 59% of Republicans said Trump should play a "major role" in the GOP in the future. After a dip in the week following the Capitol breach, Republican support for Trump has rebounded to pre-Jan. 6 levels. In the poll's hypothetical matchup for the GOP 2024 presidential nomination, Trump leads the pack with 54% support, far ahead of Mike Pence in second place with 12%.
A separate Morning Consult survey, meanwhile, shows McConnell's poll numbers sinking among GOP voters. According to the poll, McConnell "saw the largest decline in his approval rating among GOP voters" when compared to other Republican senators, tumbling 29 points to 41%.

Cruz has made a costly PR mistake trotting off to Cancun during the Texas mess. He is getting ravaged for it. People want pics of him cavorting while people in his State are freezing with no water and no power
Someone should have told him it is a bad idea.
McCarty is a snake....time for all new leadership in house and senate or new party....GOP is hopeless the way it is..
McCarthy is a snake in the grass.
And the Turdle? Well, he will get what’s coming to him.
And Linda Graham? He is the Deep State Spy
pretending to be an ally to Trump.
May they all rot in hell.
The GOP has had an agenda for thirty years that has been the opposite of MAGA, it is to turn the USA into North Mexico.
They fought President Trump at every turn as he tried to secure the border and restore the rule of law.
They assisted the Democrats in cheating him out of office to keep him from taking over the GOP and saving our country.
The entire purpose of the GOP since 1989 was blocking conservatives from stopping the importation of that permanent Democrat majority that would vote to subsume the USA to the UN and strip US of our sovereignty.
Assistant Democrats is all they are and will ever be.
The only GOP congress creature I have a smidgen of faith in is Jim Jordan, the rest are lying POS. If this is what the GOPE sunshine pumpers are hanging their hopes on they are in for a severe let down-again, because their leaders are offering NOTHING we haven’t heard before and we know they are lying when they open their mouths. The GOP is right now making life and death decisions about their little clique of a club and so far all have been wrong, but that’s par for the course with these snobs.
Americans better WISE UP/
Key swamp demons were making fortunes when they allowed US companies in a number of industries including pharma, computer; and electrical as well metal fabrication components even bicycles relocate their factories in China . To the point where China was our sole supplier.
Shipped here by rats and rinos who owned the boats like McConnell and Finestein
The money the CCP has now comes from US .If we play our Chinese checkers right we can really turn things around for the better not only here but in China as well.Check out this recent posting in Free Republic.com which the MSM and social venues will spike; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3890312/posts. will be stopped by Biden and hailed by Walmart http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3920123/posts
I think Steve Scalise is a good man and he actually lived thru a shooting from a Bernie Sanders nut job! I sure hope the Bern drops dead of a heart attack soon as he has incited way more damage than the libs “claim” Yrump did!
McCarthy only hangs with Trump because he realizes that without Trump, his fundraising is dead.
I did not know Cruz was in Cancun . The good news is we have power this morning !
No, it's better they make their own decisions so that we can better judge them, this is a major fail for Cruz.
McCarthy sees The Turtle as not-long-for-this-political world.
He’s just plowing the fields, sowing the seeds and he’ll wait his turn.
McCarthy’s not even 60. Ole Mitch is near 80.
I have someone in the middle of this mess. I don’t know who is at fault. Probably a lot of people.
But to take off to Cancun is an error that will be used against him over and over and over again.
What an idiot.
This is like that idiot Chris Christie going to a closed beach. Have some sense about how things will look
Trump had a Rally and the Dems took advantage of it to create a Riot and the GOP Leaders swallowed the Dems hook line and sinker
DM has had some wild pictures such as icicles from ceiling fans.
My relative is young and was completely unprepared despite me trying to get him to stock up due to Covid,etc. Grocery stores are ransacked right now.
Term limits sounds better by the day
McCarthy and McConnell are the same brand of prostitutes. They are just making different calculations. They would reverse position in a heartbeat if things look different. McConnell thinks he can control the Party, excluding Trump. McCarthy knows he is wrong. Graham is frequently described as a Trump supporter. He is not. He is a Deep State pedophilic.
Members on to go list
Luckily I’m a prepper and have no need to go to HEB . But my garden is frozen .
