Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy told CBS that if President Joe Biden remains the Democratic nominee for 2024, then former President Donald Trump “will win,” ushering in a Republican majority.
“Yes. In the Republican Party? Yes. And if Biden stays as the nominee for the Democrats, I believe Donald Trump will win. I believe that Republicans will gain more seats in the House and the Republicans will win the Senate,” McCarthy stated.
“Can he count on your support?” Costa questioned.
McCarthy answered with a simple “yes,” to which Costa asked if the confirmation was “an endorsement.” The former House Speaker continued to explain that he would “support the president,” specifying Trump.
“I will support the president. I will support President Trump,” McCarthy stated.
“Would you be willing to serve in a Trump cabinet?” Costa questioned.
“In the right position. And look, if I’m the best person for the job? Yes. Look, I worked with President Trump on a lot of policies. We worked together to win the majority, but we also have a relationship where we’re very honest with one another,” McCarthy stated.
