Leading 2024 presidential candidate and 45th President Donald Trump is reportedly considering visiting the U.S. Capitol for a meeting with the House GOP caucus as the race for speaker of the House heats up.
President Trump has been floated as a potential House speaker by many representatives including Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).
"If Trump becomes Speaker of the House, the House chamber will be like a Trump rally every day!! It would be the House of MAGA," Greene wrote in a post on Twitter/X on Wednesday.
In a post on his top-rated social media platform, Truth Social, Trump elaborated, writing, “I am running for President, have a 62 Point lead over Republicans, and am up on Crooked Joe Biden, despite the Democrat Party’s massive Law-fare, Weaponization, and Election Interference efforts, by 4 to 11 Points, but will do whatever is necessary to help with the Speaker of the House selection process, short term, until the final selection of a GREAT REPUBLICAN SPEAKER is made.”
“A Speaker who will help a new, but highly experienced President, ME, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump added.
“Donald Trump is considering meeting with House Republicans at the Capitol next week, a source familiar with the former president’s plans tells the Guardian, as his party works to elect a new speaker following Kevin McCarthy’s overthrow,” the Guardian reported on Wednesday.
On Wednesday, President Trump posted on Truth Social a photoshopped photo of himself as speaker of the House amid a scramble to get a new Republican leader.
This came after now ex-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was ousted on Tuesday after Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and his allies successfully removed him. McCarthy made history as the first House speaker ever to be fired from his post.
Earlier on Wednesday, after sitting in court for his New York fraud case, Trump spoke to reporters outside of the courtroom and didn’t rule out being speaker of the House.
“A lot of people have been calling me about speaker. All I can say is that we will do what is best for the country and for the Republican Party," Trump said.
"We have some great, great people,” Trump added.
“A lot of people have asked me about it. Look, I'm focused and I'm leading by 50 points for president. My focus is totally on that. If I can help them during the process, I would do it. But we have some great people in the Republican Party,” Trump said.
