One strategy that would return President Donald Trump to leadership in Washington, D.C., has been closed down – by President Donald Trump.
In an interview this week he said he has little interest in becoming the speaker of the House of Representatives, which easily could be accomplished with the expected return by the GOP to the majority in the body.
“No, I think it’s not something I want to do. A lot of people bring it up. It’s brought up all the time. No, it’s not something I want to do. I want to look at what’s happening, and then we’re going to be doing something else. No, it’s not something I would be interested in,” he said in an interview with Just the News founder John Solomon and Real America’s Voice correspondent Amanda Head.
The Washington Examiner explained the “political gambit has been proposed over the past year as a means by which Trump could lead an impeachment effort against President Joe Biden.”
The Constitution requires that the speaker of the House be elected by the House, but it does not require the speaker to be a member of the House.
