The peace might be short-lived, but the speaker's members understand why he's not offering a formal endorsement to Donald Trump.
Another House conservative, granted anonymity to speak candidly, said that a Trump endorsement might only make matters worse for McCarthy and his “incredibly split” conference.
Perhaps the one thing all of McCarthy’s members can agree on is that the fates of McCarthy and Trump will become even more intertwined as the presidential race heats up. Which explains why though some of Trump’s allies may want McCarthy to wade into the presidential campaign, the same can’t be said across the GOP conference.
A spokesperson for McCarthy’s political arm responded to a request for comment for this story with the same statement printed in Breitbart, blaming the media for “attempting to drive a wedge between President Trump and House Republicans as our committees are holding Biden’s DOJ accountable for their two-tiered levels of Justice.”
McConnell is also facing a much more favorable electoral 2024 map than McCarthy, who’s in a tossup battle to hold onto the House.
