Texas Rep. Troy Nehls nominated 45th President Donald Trump as Speaker of the House of Representatives following former Speaker Kevin McCarthy announcing he would not seek re-election.
McCarthy was voted out of the job Tuesday, becoming the first Speaker of the House to be removed from his or her post in the history of the U.S. Congress. An effort spearheaded by Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz saw seven other Republicans join forces with Democrats to boot McCarthy in a 216-210 vote.
Florida Rep. Greg Steube joined in the call as well.
Georgia Rep. Mike Collins appeared to endorse the idea as well.
The Speaker of the House does not need to be a member currently serving. Gaetz nominated and voted for the 45th president to become Speaker during multiple rounds in the January vote. Trump has been in New York City this week attending a civil trial regarding his finances. He is currently the frontrunner in the GOP presidential primary.
The House will recess until next week as numerous Republican Congress members revealed they did not know who would emerge as candidates to replace McCarthy.
North Carolina Rep. Patrick McHenry, according to House rules, has been named speaker pro tempore and has been dubbed to serve until a new speaker is chosen.

How did Kevin McCarthy’s removal as Speaker of the House impact the dynamics of American politics, and what led to his ousting from office?
In a surprising turn of events, Texas Representative Troy Nehls recently nominated former President Donald Trump as Speaker of the House of Representatives. This announcement came after former Speaker Kevin McCarthy revealed his decision not to seek re-election.
The nomination of Donald Trump for Speaker of the House has stirred up a lot of discussion and debate among politicians and the public alike. If confirmed, Trump would become the first former president to hold the position of Speaker. This move could have far-reaching implications for the Republican Party and the political landscape in general.
Kevin McCarthy’s removal from the Speaker position marked a historic moment, as he became the first Speaker of the House to be voted out of office. This unprecedented vote was the result of efforts led by Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz, who managed to garner support from seven other Republicans and Democrats to oust McCarthy in a close 216-210 vote.
The decision to nominate Trump as Speaker reflects the ongoing influence he still holds within the Republican Party. Despite leaving the White House, Trump has remained a prominent figure in American politics and continues to command a loyal following. His nomination could potentially unite the party and energize his supporters, while also attracting criticism and pushback from those who oppose his policies and leadership style.
The role of Speaker of the House is crucial in the functioning of the U.S. government. As the leader of the House of Representatives, the Speaker holds significant power and influence over legislation and the overall direction of the country. If Trump were to assume this role, it would undoubtedly shake up the political dynamics in Washington and could potentially shape the upcoming midterm elections and the 2024 presidential race.
It remains to be seen how this nomination will play out and whether Trump will accept the position if formally offered. Regardless of the outcome, the nomination itself reflects the continued impact and divisiveness of the former president within American politics. As the nation looks toward the future, it will be interesting to observe the unfolding events and their implications for both the Republican Party and the country as a whole.
