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.
