Trump would accept House speakership for a ‘short period’ while Republicans decide on a permanent replacement
Donald Trump has not officially stated that he would accept a House speakership for a “short period” while Republicans decide on a permanent replacement. However, he has expressed admiration for the idea. In an interview with Fox News in May 2019, he said, “It’s certainly something that’s of interest and certainly, if they asked me, I would say yes.” It is unclear whether Trump would actually accept the offer, should it be extended.
