Speculation over whether Trump would take aim at McCarthy in the wake of the controversy emerged on Thursday evening, with McCarthy&#8217;s critics arguing it could affect his efforts to become the next speaker of the House. <\/p>\n<div class=\"Enhancement\">\n<div class=\"Enhancement-item\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>But others argued that McCarthy remains well positioned to lead Republicans in the next Congress if the party wins a majority in the midterm elections, with Trump remaining an ally. <\/p>\n<p><b><u><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/leaked-trump-impeachment-tape-puts-mccarthy-in-bind-as-he-chases-speakers-gavel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LEAKED TRUMP IMPEACHMENT TAPE PUTS MCCARTHY IN BIND AS HE CHASES SPEAKER&#8217;S GAVEL<\/a><\/u><\/b> <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI listened to the tape last night.

If he&#8217;s not upset, it&#8217;s not an issue.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The lawmaker added that the situation may be beneficial for McCarthy in showing that he retains the former president\u2019s support despite the tapes confirming his former criticisms. <\/p>\n<p><b><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/b> <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn fact, this might help him \u2014 there&#8217;s one or two in the conference that likes to cause problems.
