Amidst the ongoing drama on Capitol Hill, there is talk of a potential appearance by former President Donald Trump at the candidate forum for the House speaker race, scheduled for Tuesday. Trump is expected to make a visit to Washington between his campaign stops in New Hampshire on Monday and Palm Beach, Florida on Wednesday.

Although he has not confirmed his intentions, the former president has been playfully indicating his interest in the top House job through a meme featuring himself sitting in the speaker's chair, wielding a giant gavel. Some of his allies in the House have already put his name forth for consideration, and if Trump throws his weight behind a candidate, it could significantly impact the race's dynamics.

One contender who could greatly benefit from Trump's backing is firebrand Rep. Jim Jordan, a reliable ally and staunch opponent of what he terms the 'weaponization' of the Justice Department against Trump from within the House.

Jordan, currently competing against Number Two Republican Steve Scalise, the Majority Leader, is vying for the position after Kevin McCarthy's recent ousting. Remarkably, the speaker doesn't necessarily need to be a sitting member of the House, so others might also propose Trump's name.
