Yesterday President Trump endorsed Kevin McCarthy for Speaker after losing three rounds of voting for Speaker. Trump also lectured the 20 GOP Representatives for refusing to elect Kevin McCarthy as House Speaker. Today it appears he’s had a change of heart.
TGP shared the President’s comments. President Trump was very hard on the 20 GOP members who refused to vote for McCarthy. Many, if not all, of these Representatives are big Trump supporters.
Ugh… Trump Tells Conservative Lawmakers to Stick with Kevin McCarthy
Rep. Matt Gaetz who is a huge supporter of President Trump called President Trump’s efforts to support McCarthy his biggest HR mistake ever.
Trump Supporter Rep. Matt Gaetz Hammers President Trump for Backing McCarthy for Speaker
Last night after the late-night talk shows were finished, President Trump appears to have had a change of heart. Did the President see the comments from TGP readers?
President Trump: Very good things are happening behind the scenes for the Republican Party. Intense but Smart negotiations between GREAT and PATRIOTIC people are ongoing. They all love our Country, and want something to go forward, ASAP. This “event” will end up making the Republican Party STRONGER and more UNITED than ever before. OUR NATION IS AT STAKE. Stay tuned and, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
President Trump called yesterday a big Republican victory by making “the position and process of getting to be Speaker Bigger and More Important”
President Trump: I actually think that a big Republican VICTORY today, after going through numerous Roll Calls that failed to produce a Speaker of the House, has made the position & process of getting to be Speaker BIGGER & MORE IMPORTANT than if it were done in the more traditional way, much like me again becoming President after having won big in 2016, gotten many Millions of MORE VOTES in 2020 but “supposedly” not winning (BIG LIE!), & then winning again in 2024. It will be BIGGER than the traditional way!
We’ll see what happens today. Hopefully, the leadership of the party is starting to realize that McCarthy doesn’t have the votes for Speaker.
