Trump is trying to claim that he never endorsed Kevin McCarthy for speaker even though he endorsed him two weeks ago.
A couple of weeks ago, Trump endorsed McCarthy and said he was “an outstanding Representative for the people of California, and a strong and fearless Leader of the House Republican Conference.”
However, according to The Washington Examiner, Trump now claims that he never endorsed McCarthy for speaker, “Towards the end of a recent interview, Trump interjected to correct conservative talk show host Wayne Allyn Root after he said Trump endorsed McCarthy for speaker. “No, I haven’t,” Trump said. “No, no, no. I haven’t,” he added through some crosstalk. “No, I endorsed him in his race. But I haven’t endorsed anybody for speaker.”
Trump’s initial endorsement read a lot like he would also support McCarthy for speaker. The whole reason that Kevin McCarthy is sucking up to Trump is that he yearns to be the next speaker of the House.
If Trump doesn’t support him for Speaker, House Republicans could plot their first-ever coup against the person who is the presumed speaker if they win the majority.
Rep. Jim Jordan is the person who is lurking in case McCarthy stumbles. If Trump and his diehards in the House support Jordan, McCarthy could be screwed, and all of his kissing up to Trump will have been for nothing.

Stop supporting RINOs, Mr. Trump. Thx.
Where does Trump say that he wants him to continue leading it?
He praised McCarthy he did not endorse him to be speaker. But why should the author pay attention to Trump’s actual words.
Total libtard article. Zero chaos, only stirring the pot for no reason, other than Trump said something. It doesn’t matter what....they want to distort anything he says.
Did he endorse him for reelection, but NOT for SOTH?
Correct.
Maybe Kevin McCarthy needs to get his act together and quit playing both sides.
On TV he’s all MAGA. Behind the scenes he’s all GOPe. We know what his true colors will be.
.
McCarthy is a bad move.
He’s an Actor that loathes the base.
McCarthy was invited to criticize Biden about a year ago after a major Biden mistake, and he refused to criticize Biden.
Any recent noise by McCarthy is election time BS.
After the Election, he goes back to doing deals with Dirty Joe and Hunter and James Biden are safe as Church mice.
His best friend in the World is an avowed Never Trumper.
GOP in chaos? Sounds like wishful thinking.

There’s virtually no one in the Senate that supports Trump.
Sure, they run back before Election time, but they don’t defend him from obvious false charges and their actions reveal they wanted to take Power from Trump.
There’s 535 members of Congress and I can’t think of more than Five that actually speak up and defend Trump and oppose the Biden agenda (speak to corruption, etc).
Once you realize that, it’s clear the GOP is in Chaos.
Mitch McConnell said the (fixed) Jan 6th Committee is doing important work that America needs to hear!
Every Jan 6th committee member has turned a blind eye to the Biden’s open Foreign Cash machine and long time family Corruption.
I hope Trump takes the Speaker spot in November with that Florida governor deciding to run for President in 2024. What a strategy! Trump runs the House, and campaigns for DeSantis.
Trump didn’t refuse to endorse him. He said he’s he endorsed him for his seat and will focus on Speaker later (after he wins the primary/ Nov. election. Makes perfect sense.
Interesting website.
Zero info on it regarding who owns/runs the dang thing.
Okaaaay....
Well, this article will get the juices flowing.
Which is precisely why I've called him Milquetoast McCarthy from day one!
“I hope Trump takes the Speaker spot in November with that Florida governor deciding to run for President in 2024. What a strategy! Trump runs the House, and campaigns for DeSantis.”
How ridiculous. Trump is going to run in the 2024 presidential election and DeSantis will never run against him. DeSantis is well aware that the 2028 presidential election is his for the taking. And Trump, having been Prez, choosing to run for House speaker is a joke and will never happen. Wishful thinking on your part, not based in political reality.
Chaos… lol. It’s politics. If the GOP is in chaos… the dems must be in utter existential meltdown.
