Optics.
Perhaps it is the plan to make DJT speaker of the house. The optics would not be as good if 45 opposed McCarthy because he wanted to be speaker of the house.
Now Trump can get a nomination without that fight against McCarthy.
After all, McCarthy is the first failed speaker vote in 100 years. We all know Trump's world consists of Longshots.
Are you constitutionally illiterate? Are you incapable of reading something and comprehending what was said?
Speaker is not an Officer of the USA, and thus under the Constitution ineligible to be on the order of succession in cases of presidential vacancy.
Doesn't matter what the current federal statute says. Constitution trumps statute.
