Trump received only one vote after Gaetz nominated him for speaker of the House on Thursday—from Gaetz himself.
Trump was praised by Gaetz for being"the first president in my lifetime that didn't start any new wars" during the nomination. The congressman argued that the achievement"unites some elements of the right and left for the benefit of our communities."
Representative Matt Gaetz, left, is pictured in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, while former President Donald Trump, center, is shown at a rally in Vandalia, Ohio, on November 7, 2022, and Representative Steve Cohen, right, is seen in Washington, D.C., on June 17, 2020. Cohen heckled Gaetz after the Florida Republican praised Trump for starting no new wars while nominating him as speaker of the House on Thursday.
