CNN Panel: Trump’s Endorsement For Kevin McCarthy Didn’t Do Much Help

EXCERPT:

BLITZER: "It’s interesting because Trump endorsed him for Speaker and that really didn’t help him much."
COLLINS: "He endorsed him. He said, 'I think Kevin McCarthy deserves a shot.' It was a pretty tepid endorsement that came in December. And now, as you notice, Trump has been silent on this all day. He actually spoke with a Reporter from NBC News, he did not reiterate his support for Kevin McCarthy. He was on the phone with these hard-liners last night telling them they should vote for McCarthy, telling McCarthy he should take the deal when it comes to what the hard-liners were offering him. It didn’t have a lot of help here. I will be watching to see what Trump does over the next 12 hours."
