Washington, United States — The race to replace the ousted Republican speaker of the US House of Representatives intensifies this week amid questions over whether anyone can unify the chaotic party’s warring factions.
Bracing for more of the disarray that marked McCarthy’s eviction, House Republicans are due to host a “candidate forum” Tuesday to pick their new standard-bearer, followed by a vote behind closed doors Wednesday. And the attack by Hamas that left at least 700 Israelis dead has prompted speculation about whether a leaderless Congress is able to react to a crisis.
“That’s a decision by the conference, I’ll allow the conference to make whatever decision. Whether I’m speaker or not, I’m a member of this body,” he said, deflecting further questions about whom he would support if it wasn’t him. His offer is not seen as a serious possibility, however, and there has been no broad show of support from Republicans for the ex-reality TV star — who is facing multiple criminal prosecutions — to take the helm, even temporarily.
