Description
With Kevin McCarthy dethroned, House Republicans are mired in a frantic
search for someone to fill the leadership vacuum. On Wednesday, two big
names threw their hats in the ring: House Majority Leader Steve Scalise
(R-La.) and Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio). Another name in the
conversation: former President Donald Trump, the subject of a hard-right
pipe dream that imagines him ending up with the speaker’s gavel — a
far-out idea that Trump himself is stoking on social media posts.
Congressional reporter Anthony Adragna joins Playbook co-author Rachael
Bade to sort it all out.

A pair of stories this morning in POLITICO, however, underscores why those claims are probably wishful thinking. by POLITICO Playbook Daily Briefing
