Former President Donald Trump said on Thursday he would be willing to be speaker of the House for a "short period of time" if House Republicans could not reach a consensus on another candidate to replace California Rep. Kevin McCarthy.
"They have asked me if I would take it for a short period of time for the party, until they come to a conclusion—I’m not doing it because I want to—I will do it if necessary, should they not be able to make their decision," Trump told Fox News Digital, adding he would only be interested in a "30, 60 or 90-day period."
