During a Sunday appearance on CBS News's Face the Nation, Rep. Jamie Raskin expressed concern that Trump could become Speaker of the House due to Republicans fed up with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.
"It's a real problem for Kevin McCarthy now, because there are certain pro-Trumpists within his House caucus who refuse to accept that he's really with Trump, and they want to get rid of McCarthy," Raskin said. "They might just vote for Trump, when they take the roll call for speaker, so we know that the hard-right Freedom Caucus people are in search of another candidate, and one potential candidate whose name has been floated is Donald Trump himself, because the speaker of the House does not have to be a member of the House. And they are talking about putting Trump right there," he continued
When pressed by host Margaret Brennan if that was a real option, Raskin was convinced that some Republicans would try it, adding that "They talk about it repeatedly."
