Despite Donald Trump actively running for president once again, Republicans in Congress are supposedly floating his name as a replacement for Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House. But, for Seth Meyers, it’s a hilarious idea, considering Trump is currently under a gag order from one of the many ongoing investigations into him.
“Because you have to be insane to actually want this job, some Republicans are floating the name of a person who is, in fact, insane,” Meyers prefaced, before explaining the circumstances.
On Tuesday night, just hours after Kevin McCarthy was ousted from the position, Fox News host Sean Hannity noted during his show that “sources are telling me… some House Republicans have been in contact with, and have started an effort to draft former President Donal Trump to be the next Speaker – and I have been told that President Trump might be open to helping the Republican party, at least in the short term if necessary.”
