The former president of USA, Donald Trump, told Fox News Digital that he would accept being president of the Chamber of Deputies for a “short period” to unite the Republican Party. The statement was made this Thursday, the 5th. Trump’s name was mentioned by members of the party to fill the vacancy of Kevin McCarthy, who was removed on Tuesday, the 3rd. Trump had already denied that he would accept the invitations, saying that he would be focused on the presidential elections in 2024. He is the party’s main name in the race for the White House. “They asked me if I would accept for a short period of time for the party, until they reach a conclusion. I’m not doing this because I want to. I will do it if necessary, if they cannot make a decision”, said the former American leader to the Fox News website. The operating period would be 30, 60 or 90 days.
Trump confirmed that he received several calls and was asked about the possibility of taking office. “We have some great people in the Republican Party who would do a great job as speaker of the House. My only focus is to be president and, honestly, to make ‘America great again,’ Trump said. McCarthy was removed after a lawsuit filed by members of his own party. The House’s activities were suspended and will resume after the replacement is chosen.
