Kevin McCarthy Says Dems’ Losing Streak Will Continue ‘The More’ They Fight Trump, Mocks Home State Of New DNC Leader

Former Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Wednesday evening on Fox News that Democrats will continue to lose the more they fight against President Donald Trump, mocking the party’s new leadership choice.

The Democratic Party has appeared to struggle to unify its messaging to voters since Trump’s November win, with some blaming their policies while others argue the issue lies in how they deliver their ideas to voters. On “The Ingraham Angle,” host Laura Ingraham asked McCarthy about new reports that Democrat donors have either paused funding or are openly supporting Trump, which the former House Speaker called “unheard of.”

“It’s failing. What did they do? They doubled down. Tim Walz just lost for vice president. So where’d they go? They went and picked their new party chair from the land of Tim Walz and Ilhan Omar. If you look at the latest polling, more people identify as Republican than Democrat. This is unheard of,” McCarthy said.

“Trump had not only now won the popular vote, he’s now increased the size of the Republican Party. Even the Democratic donors now want to join the president,” McCarthy added. “Why? Because his policies. Everything the president is taking on has more than a 60% approval. The more the Democrats fight it, the more they will lose.”

The Democratic National Committee members gathered on Feb. 1 to finalize their new chair, electing Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party Chairman Ken Martin, who hails from the same state as failed former Democratic vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz. Following Martin’s win, the new chair told The New York Times that the problem he saw with the party wasn’t the policies themselves but rather a “messaging” and “brand problem.”
