The House GOP is facing growing pressure to settle on a House Speaker candidate after the worst attack on Israel in five decades.Steve Scalise and Jim Jordan, the top candidates to replace McCarthy, have voiced unequivocal support for Israel.
GOP lawmakers have struggled to coalesce around a replacement for McCarthy. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise of Louisiana and Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan of Ohio are viewed as the top candidates. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-New York, called on Republicans to settle on a candidate that can win 217 votes in the closely divided House so lawmakers can move forward with support for Israel.
Jordan rebuffed any calls for Israel to demonstrate restraint in response to Hamas' offensive. The congressman from Ohio told Fox News in an interview that aired on Sunday the U.S. should give Israel"what they need to win."
