Moore, an Enterprise Republican, supported Jim Jordan over Scalise, believing he is the obvious choice to unite lawmakers following last week’s ouster of Kevin McCarthy.
“Over the time I’ve been here, I’ve seen him as a fighter,” Moore said of his friend Jordan. “He takes a stand on things he believes in.”
Scalise barely outscored Jordan during Wednesday’s nomination but lacked the 217 votes needed in the full House.“He’s a man you can trust,” Moore told News4 of Jordan.
