“At no time, having known Joe Biden for quite some time, does he have the energy of Donald Trump. We both know it,” McCarthy said.

“Donald Trump didn’t need to sleep five hours a night, and he would be engaged. If you called Donald Trump, he would get on the phone before staff would,” McCarthy added.

Stefanik had Trump’s backing during the process.

The three spent the interview attacking Biden and his policies.

“I am excited about Elise Stefanik joining the leadership team because Joe Biden is not just ignoring the problems; he’s igniting them,” McCarthy said.

Stefanik told Hannity that she “agrees with all the items” the host laid out as a part of the “Trump agenda” when he asked her about fears from others that she isn’t conservative enough.

“We are experiencing multiple crises under President Biden and Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi [D-Calif.]. We have a border crisis. We have an economic crisis and a national security crisis in the Middle East. Republicans are going to fight on behalf of American families that are concerned about the radical direction this administration is taking us,” Stefanik said.
