GOPe. Every house candidate would have to say they’d have no problem with him being speaker. Cheney’s toast and others will follow. McConnell will wither when Trump enters his chamber. last-SOTU address in 2023: Trump sits behind the POTUS with a big smile on his face. Priceless.
The interesting thing is that you do not have to be a House of Representatives member to be elected Speaker of the House. The Constitution says that the House shall choose a Speaker. But there are absolutely no requirements for that office!
So if MAGA Republicans ever gain control of the House, they could elect Trump as Speaker even if he were a private citizen. (I’m dreaming, I know.)
