Steve Scalise and Jim Jordan expected to hold candidate forum on Tuesday after House business ground to a halt after McCarthy removal
Republicans who advocated for McCarthy’s removal as House speaker say that they will make electing a new speaker a priority. Colorado representative Ken Buck told ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday that Republicans are working towards electing a new leader. “We’ll agree on a candidate by the end of the week, or we’ll agree on a candidate over the weekend.
I think we lock the doors, and we have very limited bathroom breaks and food breaks and make sure we get the job done,” Buck said. “We’re going to be able to have a family discussion. When we leave that family discussion, I believe we’re going to be united,” Buck added. Meanwhile, McCarthy has not ruled out a possible return to being House speaker. During an interview with radio host Hugh Hewitt, McCarthy said that he would return if the Caucus asks him to do so.
