McCarthy's Tense Relationship with Trump Continues Post-Ouster

Despite heated exchanges and ongoing tension, former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy maintains a relationship with former President Donald Trump, raising questions about his political future.

Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy had a heated phone call with former President Donald Trump, in which McCarthy reportedly told Trump 'F--- you' when Trump criticized him for not expunging his two impeachments and not endorsing him for the 2024 presidential campaign.
Despite the tension, McCarthy and Trump continue to maintain a relationship, with regular phone calls and text messages.
McCarthy has not yet endorsed Trump or any other candidate for president, reportedly due to concerns about losing donor support and protecting vulnerable members of the House Republican conference.
McCarthy, who was ousted as House Speaker on October 3, has indicated that he may be considering a career beyond Congress.
Despite his ouster, McCarthy continues to assist with the Republican party's fundraising efforts, although it's unclear to what extent he will be involved going forward.
