Thursday at a campaign rally in Las Vegas, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said people are giving him “a lot of credit” for House Majority Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) dropping out of the race to be the next Speaker of the House.
Trump said, “You know, Kevin McCarthy is out – you know that, right. And they’re giving me a lot of credit for that, because I said you really need somebody very, very tough and very smart. I know tough people, they’re not smart – that’s the worst, okay? That’s the worst. You got to be smart. But we need smart, we need tough – we need the whole package.”
