The nomination for Trump is not completely out of the blue. The potential plan was actually somewhat official back in November…
National File has exclusively obtained a memorandum being circulated among members of the House Freedom Caucus (HFC) that considers alternatives to Kevin McCarthy after the Republican Party’s much anticipated red wave at the 2022 midterm elections fizzled into a pink trickle, potentially leaving Republicans with a single digit advantage over Pelosi’s Democrats.
- The “Speaker Trump” HFC memo is a bold expression of NO-CONFIDENCE in Kevin McCarthy just days after his disastrous performance at the midterm elections.
- The Trump memorandum sets forth a plan to elect President Donald J. Trump as Speaker of the House of Representatives.
- Importantly, the document clearly articulates the legal and constitutional authority that the House MAY CHOOSE a non-member as House Speaker.
But the beauty of this plan is that Trump would be Speaker for just 100 days, enough time to put his plans in action. And it would be almost impossible for McCarthy to undo the course that Trump will have already set in the House. That is why it would be "safe" to have McCarthy succeed Trump as Speaker and would ensure the votes for Trump tomorrow as Speaker because he would be endorsed by McCarthy. I call this a win-win.
