Former President Donald Trump is in talks to make a trip to Capitol Hill next week. A potential visit comes as Republicans work to decide who should be the next speaker of the House following Kevin McCarthy’s ouster. Two people familiar with the talks disclosed them to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity Thursday ahead of a formal announcement. Some on the far right have floated the idea of Trump as a speaker candidate, perhaps on an interim basis. But Trump has said he wants a speaker who supports his 2024 presidential candidacy.
