House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) wouldn’t say Wednesday whether he would endorse former President Donald Trump’s latest White House run.
McCarthy’s refusal came one day after the 76-year-old former commander in chief announced his 2024 bid.
“You guys are crazy,” McCarthy told reporters when asked if he had plans to back Trump.
“I thought he gave a great speech,” McCarthy said about Trump’s Tuesday night Mar-a-Lago spectacle.
The California Republican fended off a challenge by Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) to win the House GOP’s nomination to be speaker of the House just hours before Trump’s announcement.
Both McCarthy and Trump have come under fire by many in the GOP after the party’s worse than expected performance in the midterm elections. Republicans failed to gain control of the Senate and only clinched control of the House on Wednesday, and, so far, hold the majority by only one se

Backstabbing SOB... after Trump gave him his support last week?
AGAIN???
Typical Kevin. Finger in the wind. He did this in 2016 and only jumped on board late in the game.
That’s exactly what one would expect him to say. Let Trump prove he is stronger, if he is, and then we’ll see what McCarthy says.
Treasonous slime.
Trump is on his own. Politicians are as corrupt as the media.
The anti-Trumpers of all persuasions are trying to get the anti-Trump momentum going full bore, just like they did in 2916. I noticed that quite a few posters on Free Republic are falling in line.
This goes to show who they regard as the real enemy that must be stopped.
No kidding...the McCult is pure scum.
In fairness it is too early for many people to do endorsements. They could end up looking pretty silly if they endorse ahead of the election and then the person they endorse withdraws or fails for lack of funds or other reasons.
Myself I am all in for Donald J Trump to finish the Presidency he started!!!!
McCarthy is a craven politician, just like most of the DC swamp. Don’t expect pearls from swine.
I’m not yet willing to toss my support his way either. I’ll keep listenting to other candidates. I was p***ed off when Trump started his ego trip two days before the election. I think that cost us a lot of independent votes. I’ll vote for him if he’s the candidate, but, frankly, I’m not sure he can win.
Ask Cruz what it is like to try this sh!t.
So another style over substance dilettant. I wish I had your kind of money. Find another hobby...
Trump WILL NEVER be on his own he has 90 million of us with him 1000%!
You’re rude, but I forgive you.
Kevin talks like a girl.
You are acting stupid and shallow and I do not forgive that. Get a clue.
Ask Cruz what it is like to try this sh!t.

Nobody has a de facto unopposed *right* to the Republican candidacy for President. That is veering into a cult-of-personality territory.
right, I mean the elected insiders. I’d love to see him pack his administration with no politicians, all outside business people.
