Marjorie Taylor Greene credits Trump for keeping McCarthy’s support intact
"Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said Wednesday that former President Trump deserves credit for keeping the support for Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) Speakership bid from eroding.
McCarthy saw 21 Republicans decline to back his leadership bid through two ballots on Wednesday — a tick up from the 20 detractors who opposed him in the final vote a day earlier.
But Greene suggested that number would have been much higher if Trump hadn’t issued a statement earlier in the day urging McCarthy’s GOP critics to drop their opposition and end the stalemate that’s prevented the new GOP majority from seating the next Speaker.
“It’s a big credit to President Trump that it really helped hold the majority that we have for Kevin McCarthy,” Greene told reporters outside the House chamber just after McCarthy had failed to secure the necessary support for the fifth time. “So that’s how to read that one.”"
