Donald Trump said the idea of running for a seat in the House to become Speaker then investigate and impeach President Joe Biden is “very interesting”.
“Instead of waiting for 2024, and I’m hoping you’ll run in 2024, but why not run in 2022 for the United States Congress? A House seat in Florida. Win big. Lead us to a dramatic landslide victory. Take the House by 50 seats,” far-right radio host Wayne Allyn Root asked Trump. “Then you become the Speaker of the House, lead the impeachment of Biden and start criminal investigations against Biden. You’ll wipe him out for this last two years.”
“That’s so interesting,” Trump said. “You know, it’s very interesting,” he added saying that others had suggested he run for Senate. “But you know what, your idea might be better. It’s very interesting.”
Steve Bannon first floated the idea of Trump becoming Speaker. He told a group of Boston Republicans in February that if Trump should run, “We totally get rid of Nancy Pelosi, and the first act of President Trump as Speaker will be to impeach Joe Biden for his illegitimate activities of stealing the presidency.”
