Why Kevin McCarthy Visited Mar-a-Lago After January 6: Insights from Liz Cheney’s Book

In her forthcoming book, Liz Cheney reveals that Kevin McCarthy’s visit to Mar-a-Lago after January 6 was prompted by concerns over former President Donald Trump’s mental state. McCarthy faced backlash for the timing of his visit, while other Republicans expressed anger and disgust. McCarthy defended the visit as an effort to unite the party ahead of the 2022 midterms. However, his tenure as Speaker of the House was short-lived, and Liz Cheney clashed with Trump, ultimately leading to her ouster in Wyoming’s GOP primary. The book, set to be released on December 5, provides further insights into the post-January 6 dynamics within the Republican Party.
