House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy said Thursday he’s OK with President Donald Trump working with Democrats on big issues.
“I think it’s always good when the president is talking to both sides,” McCarthy said in an interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”
On Wednesday night, top congressional Democrats said they reached a deal with Trump on DACA, which the president later denied.
Asked whether House Speaker Paul Ryan or Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell were angry that Trump went around them on DACA and the debt ceiling, McCarthy said: “I don’t think people are miffed if we’re able to get something done here.”
McCarthy agreed with the president and said DACA “needs to be fixed as we move forward.”
“I think it’s crazy we have individuals come to America, become engineers and you tell them to ship them someplace else,” he said.
