President Trump on Saturday again expressed support for Nancy Pelosi.

President Trump tweeted early Saturday morning to express his support for House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi as the next speaker of the House.
"I can get Nancy Pelosi as many votes as she wants in order for her to be Speaker of the House. She deserves this victory, she has earned it - but there are those in her party who are trying to take it away. She will win!" Trump wrote.
According to ABC News: "Pelosi met Friday with a prominent House Democrat considering challenging her for the speaker's gavel, as she continued to confer with incoming Democrats and court votes for speaker."
Trump and Pelosi have frequently traded barbs over the last two years. However, there's been a shift in the president's comments since Democrats captured control of the House in midterm elections. 
"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. She has earned this great honor!" Trump tweeted last week.
