…Will there be a House Speaker Donald Trump? The former president says that it might happen — on one key condition, that is.
The former president and current GOP front-runner told Fox News that he would take on the speakership, something that some Republicans have proposed, but only in a short-term capacity as a “unifier” for the GOP caucus until a permanent replacement is found.
The announcement came after Trump formally endorsed Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, as his pick for a permanent speaker on Thursday evening.
“I have been asked to speak as a unifier because I have so many friends in Congress,” Trump said.
“If they don’t get the vote,” he said, “they have asked me if I would consider taking the speakership until they get somebody longer-term, because I am running for president.
“They have asked me if I would take it for a short period of time for the party, until they come to a conclusion — I’m not doing it because I want to — I will do it if necessary, should they not be able to make their decision.”
