House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy met with former President Trump at Mar-a-lago Thursday where the two agreed to work together on Republicans taking back the House in 2022.
McCarthy, who once said Trump "bears responsibility" for the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol riot, reunited with Trump in Florida for a "very good and cordial" meeting where McCarthy welcomed Trump's support in promoting GOP House candidates in the next election, according to a readout from Trump's team.
"President Trump has agreed to work with Leader McCarthy on helping the Republican Party to become a majority in the House," according to a statement from Trump-aligned Save America PAC. "They worked very well together in the last election and picked up at least 15 seats when most predicted it would be the opposite. They will do so again, and the work has already started."
McCarthy welcomed Trump's commitment to help elect Republicans in the House and Senate.
"For the sake of our country, the radical Democrat agenda must be stopped," McCarthy said in a statement. "A united conservative movement will strengthen the bonds of our citizens and uphold the freedoms our country was founded on."
An aide familiar with the meeting told Fox News that the meeting was important to move the GOP forward.
"They are catching up as McCarthy will be in the neighborhood," the aide told Fox News. "They’ve been on good terms for a while, and that will be important for the party moving forward."
The Palm Beach confab was arranged after Trump's team heard the GOP leader was fundraising in Florida as part of his effort to replace Nancy Pelosi as House Speaker after the 2022 elections. Trump's team invited McCarthy to Mar-a-lago and McCarthy rearranged his schedule to attend, Fox News learned.

Why mccarthy??
I would have told McCarthy to go make me a sandwich!
“McCarthy, who once said Trump “bears responsibility” for the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol riot...”
He said that only TWO weeks ago! WHY does President Trump continue to meet with infidels?!?!?
GOP-E fundraising panic is setting in.
Undoubtedly not the last to visit our President in exile.
I look forward to the medium he will choose to bypass the media. I know it won’t be Twatter, of course. Yes, I meant to spell it that way.
oh to be a fly on the wall...
Maybe that’s exactly what happened. Maybe PDJT told McScarthy how the cow ate the cabbage.
nothing will be “taken over” until corrupt electoral systems are fixed
Looks like McCarthy ran to Mar-A-Lago, so he is seeking Trump out to beg some favor from him. Not that McCarthy deserves any, but he’s surely in grovel mode.
Maybe Trump can explain to him that surrendering to the RATS and attacking your Base is not a winning strategy.
If you want to get rid of the disunity Kevin you need to stop bad mouthing Trump. It makes us dislike you Kevin and that causes disunity.
Oh yeah, and get Liz Cheney out of a leadership role.
McCart will lie through his teeth, promise Trump anything, just don’t start a third party. Mccarthy will renege, of course, but leave Trump not enough time to get a third party going in time for midterms.
Mccarthy’s mission is to lie and delay, until Trump is screwed, again. And us, too, of course.
The true test is if he lets Liz Cheney get removed or not. Perfectly predicts his intentions.
McCarthy was chosen specifically by the RINO paul ryan.
Groveling for Trump fundraising help.
GOP-E is freaking out over their fundraising collapse.
His first focus should be on Recall 2021. Could take momentum off of the Newsom recall heating up to bring the heat to others. Ducey, Kemp, Whitmer and Wolf.
I agree with you.
I am very angry about this back-stabbing pubbies. And, now, to come begging favors! What chutzpah! Why do they not have these balls to actually act against the communists in the government?
I don’t understand why Trump even gave them the time of day. Perhaps it will be explained someday.
