House Republicans appear to be in no rush to consider dumping GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy over his double-speak reaction to the Jan. 6 riots and tapped comments that former President Donald Trump should “resign” over the affair.
According to multiple insiders, Republicans are first looking to see what Trump says on the growing scandal and then hope to kick questions about leadership toward a time after the fall elections so it doesn’t distract from the goal of taking back control of the House.
Another leadership team adviser said that while it sounds scandalous now over a year after the riots, many House Republicans and Trump insiders were angry on Jan. 6, 2021, and have since tempered as polling shows that the GOP base wasn’t riled up by the riot. Since Trump left office, McCarthy has stayed loyal to the former president and is considered a close ally and adviser himself as the former president eyes another run for office. Trump is also known to hate the press, and the media are already cheering him on to dump McCarthy’s friendship over the resignation call.
