Description
Donald Trump dominated headlines in Washington and around the country
Tuesday. After staying mum for much of the House Speaker search process,
Trump took to Truth Social to call frontrunner Tom Emmer a “globalist”
and a “RINO” among other things, leading to Emmer’s decision to withdraw
from consideration. The move came hours after Trump’s former campaign
attorney, Jenna Ellis, pleaded guilty to a felony charge connected to
election fraud in Georgia. National politics correspondent Meridith
McGraw joins Playbook co-author Ryan Lizza to discuss whether the former
president can now be an expected part of the ongoing search for a new
House Speaker.
