A potential Cabinet role for McCarthy would be a significant jump back into working directly in politics for him and could enable him to guide Trump&rsquo;s moves in another administration.<\/p>\n<p>A prominent role for McCarthy likely wouldn&rsquo;t sit well with MAGA loyalists such as Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), whose feud with the Californian inevitably led to his ouster. The pair still have bad blood as indicated by a public argument at the Republican National Convention in July that Gaetz initiated while McCarthy was speaking to the media.<\/p>\n<p>Top Trump adviser Susie Wiles, who helped the Republican back to the White House, has been rumored <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/3216996\/trump-transition-gets-boost-gop-senate-majority\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">for a role <\/a>as his chief of staff as well. However, unlike McCarthy, Wiles has little real governmental experience, outside of campaigns. Since 2004, she&rsquo;s been an adviser or campaign manager to various politicians.<\/p>\n<p>Trump&rsquo;s chief of staff, whomever he chooses, will likely be one of his early picks. It&rsquo;ll also be one of the most crucial.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy also commented on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/are-covid-case-surges-more-fake-news\/\" title=\"Are COVID Case Surges More Fake News?\">presidential election<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><strong><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I believed this was gonna be the outcome,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;I thought it all came down to Pennsylvania; I thought it&rsquo;s more about the policy of economics.
