Former President\u00a0Donald Trump’s preferred newspaper released a dire warning for the GOP on Friday, saying that the party is headed for a “massive” implosion.
\nThe\u00a0New York Post, the long-running conservative daily tabloid published by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp, has been noted as Trump’s favorite newspaper in the past, with a\u00a0GQ\u00a0profile from early in his presidency stating that he also consumed\u00a0The New York Times\u00a0and\u00a0Wall Street Journal\u00a0to a lesser extent.
\nThe\u2002Post’s editorial board\u00a0released a piece warning that the “GOP needs to back Kevin McCarthy for speaker\u2014or risk handing Dems big win.” The piece specifically calls out Representative\u00a0Matt Gaetz, a Florida Republican, and his “band of saboteurs”\u00a0for opposing McCarthy’s bid\u00a0for speaker of the House, and added that such in-fighting could “be a massive act of GOP self-sabotage.”
\nThe Republican Party will assume the House majority in January, but due to its historically disappointing performance in the recent midterm elections, its lead over\u00a0Democrats\u00a0will be razor-thin at 222 to 213. House Minority Leader McCarthy is currently seeking the office of speaker, but his bid is at risk due to this thin margin, as he can only lose five votes from his own party before falling short of the 218 votes needed to win.<\/p>\n
