President Trump has so far received 137 endorsements from GOP members, including 85 House representatives and 16 senators.
Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R- Calif.) endorsed former President Donald Trump for the 2024 elections and suggested that he would be open to a position in the Trump cabinet.
When asked in a CBS interview to be published on Dec. 10 whether President Trump will be the presidential nominee for the GOP, Mr. McCarthy replied, “Yes. In the Republican Party? Yes. And if Biden stays as the nominee for the Democrats, I believe Donald Trump will win, I believe the Republicans will gain more seats in the House, and the Republicans will win the Senate.” He also agreed that he would support President Trump in the elections, admitting it as an endorsement.
As to whether he would be willing to serve in the Trump cabinet, Mr. McCarthy replied, “In the right position. 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.”
Mr. McCarthy is the latest GOP member to have openly endorsed President Trump for the 2024 elections.
Earlier this week, Sen. Katie Britt (R-Ala.) declared her backing for the former president. In an op-ed published in Yellowhammer News, she described President Trump as someone who can “achieve peace through strength.”
“These past three years have felt like an eternity, but I’m sure you recall how much better off we were under the Trump Administration,” she wrote while pointing to the lower cost of everyday commodities like eggs, milk, and gasoline under the former president.
Last month, Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) announced his endorsement, saying that President Trump would “put our country back on track on day one.”
In a recent interview with CNBC, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) also backed President Trump. “I expect he’ll be our nominee, and we have to make Biden a one-term president.”
According to data from Ballotpedia, President Trump has so far garnered 137 endorsements from GOP members as of Dec. 8. This includes endorsements from 85 House representatives, 16 senators, and seven governors.
