Former President Donald Trump is reportedly debating whether to travel to Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., next week to see if he can unite the Republican caucus as they prepare to nominate a new speaker of the House.
The former president declined to weigh in much when Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) decided to file a motion to vacate the speakership which led to the ouster of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) — the first time in U.S. history that a House speaker has been removed.
Trump had previously referred to McCarthy as “my Kevin,” but the most that he would say during the debacle was that Republicans should not be “fighting among themselves.”
While there were rumors that he could be interested in the position, sources suggested to The Messenger that he was more interested in eliminating feuds within the party.
