JUST IN: Donald Trump Makes Endorsement For House Speaker

Former President Donald Trump broke his silence Wednesday morning on Republicans’ chaotic speaker elections, reiterating his support for Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and calling on GOP holdouts to unite behind McCarthy and avoid an “embarrassing defeat”--after McCarthy on Tuesday became the first speaker candidate in 100 years to lose on the first round of voting, sending the process to a fourth round and a second day of ballots.
