Donald Trump: Why he too is a loser in McCarthy’s election debacle

The sixth straight election defeat is not just a disastrous testimony for Republican Kevin McCarthy. It also has consequences for his supporter Donald Trump.

The election drama in the US Congress will not end. Republican Kevin McCarthy also failed in the sixth ballot due to rebellion in his own ranks. Nothing had swayed the 20 right-wing hardliners in his party – neither last-minute negotiations behind the scenes in the Capitol nor Donald Trump’s public appeal.

With the support for “his Kevin” and the call for unity, the ex-president had embarked on thin ice. His hope of stepping into the limelight as the party’s great conciliator was tested in three runs of the gauntlet on Wednesdaynullified by McCarthy.

By evening, Congress still had no speaker. And Trump was turned down by his own people.
