Kevin McCarthy, the Republican leader in the House of Representatives, did not spare words when he condemned Donald Trump's role in the storming of the Capitol.

He stated that the then president had a responsibility for what had happened and should have done much more to stop it.

Afterwards, he partially retracted the statement, saying that the president had not provoked the attack.

And now, three weeks later, the two seem to be agreeing again.

Will help the party

On Thursday, they met in Donald Trump's new home Mar-a-Lago in Florida.

The former president's organization "Save America" ​​stated afterwards that the meeting was "very good and cordial".

"President Trump has agreed to work with McCarthy to help the Republican Party gain a majority in the House of Representatives," the organization wrote in a statement after the meeting, according to Reuters.

"Save America" ​​is such a bald Pac - an organization that donates money and helps fund political campaigns.

McCarthy has also spoken after the meeting and stated that Trump is determined to help Republicans be elected in the 2022 midterm elections.

"A united conservative movement strengthens ties and maintains the freedom on which our country was founded," he wrote according to CBS News.

Bad news for Republicans against Trump

However, the fact that the former president now agrees with the leaders of the Republican Party is not good news for the Republicans who voted for Trump to be brought before the Supreme Court.

The ten Republicans who voted for the Supreme Court process in the House of Representatives have already begun to encounter problems, reports CNN.

In their hometowns, they have begun to face opposition from Trump-loyal party friends who want to take their place in the 2022 election. And the latter are widely backed by both financiers and conservative media, according to CNN.

One of several Republican politicians who now breathes morning air is Ken Richardson in South Carolina.

He now says he is receiving calls from several quarters that he should challenge Republican Congressman Tom Rice, who voted for Trump to stand trial.

- In the municipality we live in, 71 percent of the population voted for Donald Trump.

And if you're a congressman from this area, you need to understand that this is not Tom Rice's place, this is not Ken Richardson's place.

It belongs to the people ", he says according to CNN.
