Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell regularly meet to coordinate their management of Republicans in the House and Senate. You wouldn’t know it from their voting records.
McConnell responded diplomatically to the shade from the other chamber. He described his relationship with McCarthy as “great” and said: “No one is [pulling] harder than I am for him to win back the House so we can stop the Biden administration’s liberal agenda.”
One significant factor in the leaders’ divergent paths: the different attitudes of their own rank-and-file. McCarthy blew a chance to become speaker in 2015 after he received pushback from his right flank and took heat for remarking that the GOP’s Benghazi investigations had hurt Hillary Clinton politically.
“Kevin has a good feel for this stuff … He was out in front of chips for a little bit on this. So I think he was leading the House conference in the right direction,” said Rep.Meanwhile, McConnell hasn’t spoken to the former president since December 2020. He makes little secret that he believes the party needs to move on from Trump’s stolen-election lies.
