I'm a bit confused, but doesn't each party have to agree upon a candidate for their party before the House does the vote for Speaker?
The way she explains (or how the video is edited) and how some people here are responding, it's going to be like a big free for all where people are just spontaneously calling out names for a vote.
Based on gov. protocol, on the day the House votes for Speaker, there will be only 2 selected candidates to vote for (because we only have 2 Independents in the House, and they currently caucus with the Dems, and I don't see them doing something silly like putting up a 3rd name) 1 Dem and 1 Rep. While they CAN vote for anyone they want to during the official vote, very very few of them vote against their party's nominee.
And I just don't see Trump being selected as the Republican candidate for Speaker. Just look at how many RINOs we have in office.
One thing is certain, Trump will definitely use their votes as a loyalty test. But of course this is politics, and people do 180s all the time.
Not trying to be a joy kill and ruin whatever fantasies people are having about there being some huge dramatic event where Trump is chosen as Speaker. I just think people need to realize that's not how Speaker of the House is elected and make themselves look foolish in front of others they're telling this stuff to.
I have two cousins who also follow Q (they're the ones who got me interested in this) and they frequently go around trying to redpill our family with stuff like this and generally make fools of themselves (and me by association).
The Speaker is elected at the beginning of a new Congress by a majority of the Representatives-elect from candidates separately chosen by the majority- and minority-party caucuses. These candidates are elected by their party members at the organizing caucuses held soon after the new Congress is elected.

No, there's nothing in the Constitution that says that's the case. Anybody can be voted in as Speaker and it doesn't have to be a sitting member of the House.
It would have to be a coordinated effort to get Trump elected as Speaker.
RINOs voting for anybody else but Trump could also ensure Nancy Pelosi retains her position as Speaker as well.
If we do see this happen, we have even more proof we're watching a movie, that I can tell you.

During the vote itself, they can vote for anyone they like. Even if they're not a member of Congress.
But before the vote, both parties DO elect someone to be their Candidate for that vote.
I must not have been clear in my previous post. Apologies for that.
