Kevin McCarthy actually said...

"He needs to keep Trump on his good side. He needs to make sure that Trump is happy with him, because, otherwise, he probably won`t have the juice to be elected speaker by his Republican colleagues."

"Joe Biden is the president. I think you can look that there`s a lot of problems still within the election process."

"I believe so. We will win the majority, and I will be speaker, yes."

"I want to be speaker."
