Rep. David Kustoff, R-Tenn., told Newsmax on Thursday that it's time for House Republicans to rally around speaker-designee Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and elect him to replace Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., who was ousted with a historic motion to vacate vote on Oct. 3.
After two floor votes this week, Jordan was unable to gain the 217 votes necessary to win the speaker's gavel. The Republican Conference elected Jordan, the Judiciary Committee chair, the speaker designee after Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., dropped out. A third vote on Jordan is expected at 10 a.m. ET Friday.
"Here's the point, though. Jim Jordan is our speaker designee. We all need to come together. We need a speaker of the House ... to your point President Biden may send an aid package in the next few days. We cannot vote on a package. We can't vote on a resolution condemning Hamas. We can't vote on any resolution supporting Israel until we have a speaker."
