Former President Donald Trump endorsed Rep. Kevin McCarthy on Saturday night, but the endorsement did little to increase support for the House minority leader among the MAGA crowd.Trump sent out a statement on Truth Social, his social media platform, late Saturday night endorsing McCarthy and calling him "an outstanding Representative for the people of California."
“In Congress, Kevin is a tireless advocate for the people of Bakersfield and the Central Valley," Trump said. "He is working incredibly hard to Stop Inflation, Deliver Water Solutions, and Hold Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi Accountable for their catastrophic failures and dereliction of duty ... Kevin McCarthy has my Complete and Total Endorsement.”However, some Trump supporters were not happy with the former president's decision to back McCarthy.
On Twitter, one anonymous user said the endorsement showed how off base Trump is, adding, "The people that supported Mr. Trump do not support McCarthy."Trump's decision to endorse Dr. Mehmet Oz for the Senate seat in PennsylvaniaOthers said they didn't trust McCarthy and called him a "RINO" or a "Republican in name only" — a pejorative term for Republicans who are deemed not conservative enough.
