Rep. Scott Fitzgerald, R-Wis., told Newsmax on Tuesday that he's optimistic that Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, will receive the 217 votes needed in the House to become the new speaker.
"I think when we get in there at noon today, you may see a similar kind of scenario play out just as we saw with Kevin McCarthy ," Fitzgerald said on "Wake Up America." "I hope it doesn't go to 15 votes, but I also think Jim's a lot closer than what some people imagine at this point. So, I'm hopeful that that first vote gives us an idea of who's there and who isn't, and that Jim can work with those individuals to get there very quickly.
"The conference was very emotional last night," Fitzgerald said. "You could almost watch people kind of going through their own therapeutic kind of thought process as they have had whiplash back and forth between what happened 14 days ago, but I did feel kind of a consensus building.
