President Trump suggested Wednesday that House Republicans might help Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., become speaker of the House if Democrats refuse to support her, and said Pelosi deserves to be the next speaker.

“In all fairness, Nancy Pelosi deserves to be chosen Speaker of the House by the Democrats. If they give her a hard time, perhaps we will add some Republican votes,” Trump posted to Twitter Wednesday. “She has earned this great honor!”
