McCarthy opined that discussing “something else” other than America’s future and policy matters is not a show of productivity. These remarks followed Cheney’s latest criticisms towards Trump and her decision not to rule out a presidential run of her own.

The matter of upcoming presidential runs in 2024 is a matter that McCarthy chose not to wade too far into. The House Minority Leader simply stated that this is a matter for “the conference” to ultimately take up when the time comes.

The future for House GOP leaders

Differences in House GOP leaders’ opinions pertaining to former President Trump are very clear. However, House Republicans are united in working to regain the majority during next year’s midterm races.

Members of the House GOP are already directing attention to the districts they’ll need in order to be victorious in 2022. However, even the midterms are not completely separate from the 45th president. McCarthy and Trump have spoken multiple times regarding the 2022 midterms and getting Republicans back in the House majority.
