House Minority Ldr McCarthy To Meet w/Trump In NJ

US

Trump PAC announced that House minority leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is due to meet with former President Donald Trump later today at the Trump National golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey, with the Trump communique saying there is "Much to discuss!".

  • This is the second meeting between the ranking House Republican and the former president since the latter left office, with McCarthy travelling to Trump's Mar-e-Largo resort in Florida in late-January.
  • Rumours that McCarthy and other senior GOP figures in the House could try to manouvre Trump into the Speaker's chair should the Republicans retake the House in the 2022 mid-terms were quashed by a Trump spokesman, stating that the former president had 'zero interest' in becoming Speaker.
  • McCarthy is treading a fine line between distancing the GOP caucus from Trump following the 6 Jan storming of the Capitol, but retaining Trump's support given his continued popularity among the party base.
