Donald Trump says Republicans need an act of God to find a candidate for House speaker who could reach the 217 votes needed to take the gavel.
Former President Donald Trump has yet to put a MAGA stamp of approval on any of the current nine candidates as the House has been embroiled in chaos for 20 days without a speaker after Kevin McCarthy‘s historic ouster.
Trump was in New Hampshire Monday to officially register to run in the 2024 Republican presidential primary and spoke to reporters about the ‘tumult,’ as he put it, on Capitol Hill.
The ex-president revealed that frontrunner, Majority Whip Tom Emmer, had called him over the weekend due to his perceived Trump problem – including that the Minnesota Republican had voted to certify Democratic President Joe Biden‘s 2020 White House win.
‘I think he’s my biggest fan now because he called me yesterday. He told me, “I’m your biggest fan,”‘ Trump said, adding that he had talked to a number of House speaker candidates.
A source familiar confirmed to DailyMail.com that Emmer and Trump spoke over the weekend, calling it a ‘productive’ call.
