Kevin McCarthy comments on possibility of resuming government role under a Trump administration

Kevin McCarthy Considers Return to Government if Trump Wins

Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) hinted at the possibility of resuming a government role if former President Donald Trump ⁤secures the White House in the upcoming elections. McCarthy discussed this⁢ during an interview on CBS News’ “Face The Nation,” following concerns about​ diminishing Republican House members due to resignations.

“Do ‍you have⁤ plans to return to government potentially in a Trump administration?”​ Brennan inquired.

“Look, I⁢ have always said I ‍will serve whichever way if I’m the best person for the job,” McCarthy replied. “But I think people worried about whether they get a job in the next administration is the wrong place to⁤ be. You first have to have ​the election. I think you should be going out to the ‍American public and showing them, yes,​ with President Trump get elected, we would‍ have a⁣ secure ​border.”

McCarthy ⁢highlighted potential outcomes ‍under⁢ a Trump administration, including a secure border and a‌ stronger economy. He also contrasted various policies of⁢ the current administration‌ with those ⁣of President Trump, citing embassies evacuation, inflation rates, ‍and border security.

Challenging Views

During the conversation, Brennan, known for her liberal views, challenged McCarthy’s​ assertions as “counterfactuals.”

“I served with‍ both presidents. That’s exactly the situation today. We have evacuated five embassies under President Biden.⁢ We’ve⁢ had high inflation under President Biden. We have a‌ wide-open border. We have people who are on the terrorist watch list, more people in one month of February‍ getting across our border than the entire ⁢time when President Trump was in ‍office,” McCarthy responded.
