He thinks he can take it back:
If Trump wins re-election and Republicans are able to hold the Senate and take back the House, Trump will essentially have free rein to do whatever he wants in his second term.
- Winning back the House majority is also the best insurance policy against additional attempts to impeach him.
Can you believe this is what we talk about now? He wants to take back the Houe so he won’t be impeached again? Good lord.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy told Axios that Trump is “going to travel for us. If you look at where we’re playing, he’ll be going. He’s already made that commitment to me.”
- Trump has indicated to aides that he is committed to winning back the House this year, a senior administration official tells Axios — largely because McCarthy has told him it’s possible.
- A second administration official said Trump wants revenge on Democrats for putting him through “months of hell” with impeachment and a flurry of investigations.
Imagine that.
Republicans privately admit that the chances of winning back the House are pretty slim so they’re obviously just trying to keep Dear Leader happy by telling him that he can get it back. Unfortunately, Trump doesn’t like to play in small venues so he won’t be going to individual districts but Kevin McCarthy says he’s sure Trump will attend some dinners so that will be helpful.
It occurs to me that the Trump party is entirely dependent on Trump to do everything now. The rest of the party is merely there to serve him and protect him. Luckily for them Trump is incredibly generous and always puts the greater good ahead of his own needs so they can count on him to go the extra mile to help their campaigns.
