In reply to the discussion: It seems to me that 44 GOP Senators are laying the groundwork for Trump 2024 [View all]Mr.Bill
(24,906 posts)44. How about this possibility.
I read this a few weeks ago, maybe here, I think. When McCarthy went down to Florida recently to kiss Trump's ass, one of the things they were discussing was taking the House back in '22 and making Trump Speaker of The House. That's right, you don't have to be a member of Congress to be elected Speaker of The House. Besides what a clown show that would be, If he was third in line for President, Biden and Harris would have to live in a vault and travel by armored car.
Think about that scenario.

He'll definitely threaten to run, just like he's threatening a third party.
