Jordan says first move as speaker would be to help Israel
Who will be the next speaker of the House of Representatives: Jim Jordan, Steve Scalise or … Kevin McCarthy?
McCarthy, the California Republican who just last week was ousted from the speaker’s office amid a revolt from hard-right members, on Monday was not ruling out a return to the position if support coalesces for him. The eventual speaker elected by the House will have impact on the task of avoiding a government shutdown on Nov. 17, aid to Israel as it is engulfed in a war with Hamas, and longer-term spending priorities for Congress.
Analysts at Raymond James said the tensions in the Middle East could help speed the election of a new speaker.
