Mick Mulvaney: “If you want to lend money to people and take a lower-than-market rate of interest, that is your business.”

If Kevin McCarthy is not the Speaker, yes, Kevin McCarthy loses. There is no question.

I think the President probably should be coming to McCarthy's aid simply because the President is already associated with McCarthy, regardless what the President does in the next 24 or 48 hours.

I think the fair question to ask is, would Barack Obama have won for helping bring an end to the war between Russia and Ukraine?

No, never. Nor should they. That's an issue that was already litigated during the election. Voters knew the President could have given his tax returns, they knew that he didn't and they elected him anyway.
