House Republicans are deeply fractured and some are asking him to lead them \u2014 a suggestion he is also promoting after inflaming the divisions that forced out McCarthy as speaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/politics-michael-pence-donald-trump-election-2020-capitol-siege-549829098c84b9b8de3012673a104a4c\">Many in the GOP continue to downplay the violence<\/a> on Jan. 6 that followed Trump\u2019s exhortations to \u201cfight like hell.\u201d Among the Republicans who have floated Trump as an interim speaker is Texas Rep. Troy Nehls, who was photographed standing next to Capitol Police trying to secure the House chamber during the riot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump told Fox News Digital he was heading to Washington on Tuesday to meet with Republicans. Three people familiar with the matter disclosed the talks about visiting the Capitol to The Associated Press speaking on condition of anonymity ahead of an official announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump would most likely attend a closed-door candidate forum that Republicans plan to hold Tuesday evening ahead of a speakership vote that could happen as soon as Wednesday, according to one of the people familiar with the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4000\" height=\"2667\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23278569321214.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-78937\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23278569321214.jpg.jpg 4000w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23278569321214.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23278569321214.jpg.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23278569321214.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23278569321214.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23278569321214.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1366 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 4000px) 100vw, 4000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">FILE &#8211; Rep.

(AP Photo\/J. Scott Applewhite, File)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The former president\u2019s involvement may further complicate the maneuvering of the two leading candidates for speaker, Reps. <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/steve-scalise\">Steve Scalise<\/a> of Louisiana and <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/jim-jordan\">Jim Jordan<\/a> of Ohio. Both are trying to lock in the 218 votes required to win the job and need the support of both the far-right and moderate factions of the party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jordan is also one of Trump\u2019s biggest champions on the Hill and has been leading the investigations into prosecutors who have charged the former president. He was also part of a group of Republicans who worked with Trump to overturn his defeat ahead of Jan. 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scalise has also worked closely with Trump over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the people familiar with the planning had cautioned earlier Thursday that, if Trump did go ahead with the visit, he would be there to talk with Republican lawmakers and not to pitch himself for the role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the most powerful person in Republican politics is also its most unpredictable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump told Fox News Digital Thursday that he would accept a short-term role as speaker \u2014 for anywhere from 30 to 90 days \u2014 if another candidate doesn\u2019t have the votes to win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI have been asked to speak as a unifier because I have so many friends in Congress,\u201d he told the outlet. \u201cIf they don\u2019t get the vote, they have asked me if I would consider taking the speakership until they get somebody longer-term, because I am running for president.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a social media post earlier in the day, he added that he \u201cwill do whatever is necessary to help with the Speaker of the House selection process, short term, until the final selection of a GREAT REPUBLICAN SPEAKER is made &#8211; A Speaker who will help a new, but highly experienced President, ME, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Republican conference is filled with members generally supportive of Trump, but whether they\u2019d back him to serve as speaker remains to be seen. The role is a demanding position \u2014 effectively running the Capitol and dealing with hundreds of lawmakers \u2014 and requires an attention to the arcane details of legislating that Trump showed little interest in even when he was president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While he is dominating his GOP presidential rivals, Trump is also still traveling to early primary states to campaign and has been spending much of his time focused on the four criminal indictments and several civil cases he is facing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While there is no requirement that a person be elected to the House to serve as speaker, every one of the 55 speakers the House has elected has been a member of the chamber. From time to time, lawmakers have thrown their votes to those outside of Congress, often as a protest against the candidates running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"5630\" height=\"3753\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23278552210142.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-78934\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23278552210142.jpg.jpg 5630w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23278552210142.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23278552210142.jpg.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23278552210142.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23278552210142.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23278552210142.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 5630px) 100vw, 5630px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">FILE\u2014Then-House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., left, confers with Minority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., during a news conference, at the Capitol in Washington, Dec. 14, 2022.

(AP Photo\/J. Scott Applewhite, File)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump helped McCarthy win the speakership in January after 15 rounds of voting. But he exhorted Republicans to impeach Biden and to reject deals that McCarthy negotiated. Last month, he urged the right flank to support a government shutdown if Republicans did not win deep spending cuts, declaring on social media that the GOP \u201clost big on Debt Ceiling, got NOTHING, and now are worried that they will be BLAMED for the Budget Shutdown. Wrong!!! Whoever is President will be blamed, in this case, Crooked (as Hell!) Joe Biden!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McCarthy ultimately moved to keep the government open for 45 days without the cuts demanded by hard-right conservatives. Rep. Matt Gaetz, a Florida Republican and longtime Trump ally, cited that decision as reason to move to depose the speaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among those now pushing Trump for speaker is Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a longtime Trump ally who didn\u2019t vote to remove McCarthy. She posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, that she believed \u201che would take the job.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nehls, the Texas Republican who was among the first to promote Trump for the job, said he\u2019d been contacted \u201cby multiple Members of Congress willing to support and offer nomination speeches for Donald J. Trump to be Speaker of the House.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNext week,\u201d he wrote on X, \u201cis going to be HUGE.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">___ Colvin reported from New York.
