The House voted to eject Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) as leader Tuesday, making him the first speaker in history to ever be removed after just 269 days at the helm, following a rebellion among far-right lawmakers that serves as the latest example of the deep divisions within the Republican Party. Forbes politics reporter Sara Dorn joins Brittany Lewis on “Forbes Newsroom” to discuss a Donald Trump candidacy.

More evidence of election interference. Keep in mind, if Trump is found not guilty after this, what would that then make his opponents guilty of?
She forgot to mention that he
Play golf 24/7.
Trump nominates Jim Jordan.
I believe that speaker position is filled from a pool of elected officials, therefore Trump can’t fill the position.
They can change the rules just as easy as they make them
If the GOP wants to get their party and this country back on track, they better do everything in their power to get this man back in. He is the only one smart enough and tough enough to fight the enemy. That’s why they are so afraid of him. WAKE UP!!! 🇺🇸
WooO
They also said slim to none on McCarthy being ousted and that happened. If trump goes in there, the rest of this country will implode into another civil war
GOP: the party of constantly lowering standards so they don’t have to admit how bad they’ve been fucking up by their own standards.
"rule"? what about just not being insane and anti constitution as the GOP is
He is literally ineligible to be speaker for several reasons.
He’s under 4 federal criminal investigations, for example.
No will got plenty of problems with all trump's
Wow,they oust one speaker because of his wrong doing and then want to put in Trump .What a crew full of Hypocrites.
There’s not a rule or guideline that GOP wouldn’t break. The authoritarian fascist party wants power by any means necessary.
This has got to be a joke, right? 😂
Hes the man…period..lv it
If he was able to be Speaker of any of these congressional meetings I’ve watched on here it would become extremely popular instead of the news!
We don't want Donald Trump to be speaker of the House. We want him to be president
He hasn’t been found guilty so this rules can not apply.
When will the GOP learn that their policies suck and they're out of step with America? They keep losing for a reason!
We need him as president! Not speaker. Maga! Trump 2024!
Her problem is when she started thinking
Trump is consumed with PRIDE..REVENGE..GREED..CASTING SHADE..ANTI-MAGA behavior..CORRUPTION..
TRUMP SPEAKER FOR 30 OR 60 DAYS IS BEING FLOATED.
Since when have Republicans cared about rules? We shouldn't appoint a SC justice before an election… unless they're a Republican. Candidates for president should release their taxes… unless they're a Republican. Attacking federal buildings is the worst crime imaginable… unless you're a Republican.
Jesus is King!
Trump as speaker would be comedy gold. And since whomever they pick now would be beholden to Gaetz's band of far-right wackos anyway, why not?
"Being indicted, one must step aside,' then; why is George Santos is still around?
Sounds like to me you're anticipating this whole scenario that you're gonna get rid of mukati and that somebody would probably know i'm an egg drunk and I wouldn't make sure that didn't happen
Yeah they care about the Constitution now don't they. We can find cocaine in the white house and we cannot tell you who had However because Trump has been indicted not convicted but indicted we will not allow him to become speaker. Shall we not even mention the laptop and the ugly pictures are the prostitutes on such. We Shall we not mention the bribery Scandal that has not been addressed. Talk about kangaroos. It gets funnier by the day. You have now entered the Twilight Zone. If this has been an actual emergency we would have instructed you where to tune in the area to someone that has some sense. I think they're right I think it's two wings of the same bird.
Blah, Blah Blah! Sick of the fake news and a lying thieving Government!
DESANTIS FOR PRESIDENT
These rules are easily changed. Both parties change rules frequently.
Not long ago the Dems changed the confirmation vote rules from 60 to a simple majority in the Senate. If the Republicans wanted Trump as Speaker they could change the rule. I don't think they want him and I don't think he wants the job, so it doesn't matter.
It is funny how the liberals are jumping all over this. "There is a rule! There is a rule! Trump can't be speaker". The left is so terrified of Trump. It's amusing.
I can't wait for him to be president again.
When will. You put trump in the pass
The corrupt Republican party will simply change the rules to meet their needs. The GOP should be dismantled and investigated as a corrupt organization under the RICO statutes.
Innocent until proven guilty you fool.
Who is this woman?
Why would Trump want to be speaker of the house? I dont understand why this is even being talked about its ridiculous to think he would settle for anything less than President nor should he.
Save America 2024
"Playing reading" says anyone currently under indictment will be asked to step aside. Just like George Santos.
Oh how funny it is just how much these people hate Trump. The only thing stepping Trump from being House Speaker is Trump. He is after bigger fish…..
This girl has no clue what’s she’s talking about
Apparently, common sense= far right
I'm just going to throw this in the mix… He's not the billionaire you thought he was folks. 🤷♂️ Court records prove, you were fooled. Choose to stop being a victim.
Clyde.house.gov/bidencrimefamily just got this. More than enough to impeach. 😂
