Donald Trump told the Wall Street Journal Friday that his relationship with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) hasn't been damaged by newly released audio of McCarthy saying he planned to urge the former president to resign over the Jan. 6 insurrection.
Why it matters: McCarthy, one of Trump's staunchest allies, is on the verge of becoming House speaker with the GOP likely to win the House majority in November's midterms. That, however, is largely contingent on his ability to stay on Trump's good side.
