McCarthy-Cheney Divide Deepens at GOP Retreat

“House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said it’s imperative for Republicans to stay united if they want to take back the majority. But cracks are widening in his own relationship with one of his top deputies over former President Donald Trump,” Politico reports.

“At a retreat meant to craft a cohesive message for the party, McCarthy (R-CA) and GOP Conference Chair Liz Cheney (R-WY) illustrated the exact rift the GOP has fought to avoid. While the former president wasn’t even invited to the House GOP’s annual policy retreat here in the Sunshine State, his presence has loomed large over the three-day gathering.”
