The House Republicans are pretty wild, so anything is possible.

Someone else here mentioned Gingrich. While he's very old, he's 79, a year younger than President Biden and not much older than Trump. Moreover, he's a Trump affiliate (his wife was Trump's ambassador to the Vatican). He would be a throwback to the "good old days" of 1994 for the Rethugs, which is the direct ancestor of the horrors that they have foisted on the USA.

It will be more symbolic, but I think the Republicans are desperate to get some momentum.
