"In recent days we have become witnesses of a real Trumpist revolution: capture of the House of Representatives, fight against the deep state <…>, refusal of any financial assistance to the Zelensky regime!" — the politician spoke out.
Previously, Donald Trump said in an interview with Fox News that he is ready to temporarily take over the post of Speaker of the House of Representatives.
The speaker’s chair has never been occupied by a person from outside the House of Representatives, but the law is such an option does not prohibit. Several congressmen have already said that they want to see Trump in the post, which was vacated after the removal of Kevin McCarthy as a result of the situational coincidence of the positions of the right wing of the Republican majority and the Democratic minority.
Speaker elections are scheduled for Wednesday, and the day before that the Republicans will hold factional meeting to discuss candidates.
