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.

Trump, 78, has vowed to rapidly enact tax cuts on everything from tips and overtime to Social Security benefits and car loan interest — while shaking up the federal bureaucracy and sharply pivoting US foreign policy — possibly giving McCarthy, 59, an edge due to his significant experience in Washington.

Who wants a pussy as Chief of Staff, that wouldn’t even tell Pelosi and Hoyer to get out of the Speaker and Majority Leader’s offices? You might as well re-hire John Kelly in that case.

And quick, go find Linda Graham and lock in him in the basement because between this speculation and the Obama long form resurfacing, I smell the GOPe working to sabotage us.

Highly unlikely.
Other than the obvious, he brings nothing to the table except chaos.
McCarthy was a huge backer of Crazy Liz.
That should be enough of a warning.
