Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said he "fully" supports House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan's bid for speaker after Republicans nominated him for the spot Friday.
The vote, McCarthy said, was what the public "would think is the primary" inside the conference. Initially, the conference nominated Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., but he dropped out of contention after failing to receive enough support from Republicans to lead to a vote in the full House to confirm him.
"We just get together, work a little longer and we can have a new speaker in Jim Jordan next week," McCarthy said.
