Former President Donald Trump endorsed Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy for another term, hailing him as an “outstanding” congressman.
“Congressman Kevin McCarthy is an outstanding representative for the people of California and a strong and fearless leader of the House Republican Conference,” the former president said in his enthusiastic endorsement Sunday.
After praising McCarthy for his “tireless” advocacy for the people he represents in his district, Trump said the congressman from California has been “working incredibly hard to Stop Inflation, Deliver Water Solutions, and Hold Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi Accountable for their catastrophic failures and dereliction of duty.”
WASHINGTON, DC - JANUARY 03: Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) smiles after receiving the gavel from Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R) (R-CA) following her election as the next Speaker of the House during the first session of the 116th Congress at the U.S. Capitol January 03, 2019 in Washington, DC. Under the cloud of a partial federal government shutdown, Pelosi reclaimed her former title as speaker and her fellow Democrats took control of the House of Representatives for the second time in eight years.(Photo by Win McNamee/Getty Images) Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) smiles after receiving the gavel from Rep.

“As Leader, Kevin is building a ‘Commitment to America’ platform to Grow our Economy, Fight Big Tech Censorship, Secure the Border, Strengthen our Military, Defend the Second Amendment, Improve our Health Care, Restore American Energy Independence, Support our Brave Veterans, and Uphold the Rule of Law and American Values,” said Trump.
“Kevin McCarthy has my Complete and Total Endorsement for California’s 20th Congressional District!” he concluded.

Where’s the “Babylon Bee” byline?

Why does Trump do things like this?
It was enough to just say “I endorse Kevin McCarthy for another term’. He didn’t have to go so over the top by calling McCarthy “Outstanding”.
Trump hurts the MAGA cause when he praises those milksop Republicans who openly fight against conservatives.
In KMs district, is there a reasonable alternative?
What will really count is who will Trump endorse for Speaker. Perhaps himself?
Since no pubbie of any standing is running against karen mccarthy, this is just another notch in Trump's "endorsement gun".
Sometimes Trump embarrasses himself with these lame "endorsements".
I second that motion.
Another speaker from CA (a RINO at that) is just wrong. I will not support it for that reason alone.
“Underwhelming” is the most charitable accolade that could be applied to McCarthy.
**I would much prefer that Trump state, “I endorse McCarthy because he’s the least bad California Republican in that Congressional district”.**
That is a perfect response and so like 2015 Trump. It would send the message that yeah, you got my endorsement but don’t mess it up. I’m afraid many of these questionable endorsements will do exactly that. Hope I’m wrong.
The Prez knows things we do not know. Cut him some slack. He knows what he is doing. IMHO
This endorsement of McCarthy truly shows that President Trump will have more RINOS around him this next administration. Remember last Trump Administration? How many back stabbers did he have to fire?
“McCarthy seemed to be ‘McCarthy first’ but now with his being endorsed by DJT, I’ll have to look at it again”
I think we should just say that Trump needs McCarthy for the Jan 6 kangaroo court.
The republican party is a rino party. It is of and for rinos. The decision for MAGA to work within the republican party necessitates working with rinos. I’d like to see another way. We need a real opposition party, a pro-American party that will take the republican party’s place. But apparently the system is rigged and it looks like this is the best that we can hope for politically. All of you who blame Trump for the sorry state that Washington need a reality check.
lol..do you think DeSantis would “own” McCarthy like Trump would ...
Trump is probably the only person that could dismantle the Deep State and the swamp.....mainly because he isnt a "politician"..
without that happening your “vote” wont be worth the paper it will be forged on...
From a couple of stories I have read President Trump may have had a heart to heart talk with Kevin. I am keeping an open mind on this.
“Trump needs McCarthy for the Jan 6 kangaroo court.”
It’s a damned shame that Trump needs anyone or anything for such a fiasco as this. The RINO Kinzinger stands alongside the rest of the myth-perpetuators like the child that he is, Liz Cheney may be stupid enough to believe that Biden actually received all the votes that were ‘found’ to have been cast for him, SNL won’t be able to parody or satirize it because it’s already a parody of itself,...
If I have the choice..DeSantis 2024
Trump has too much baggage.
VP? Paul? Noem? ??
