Rep. Carlos A. Giménez, R-Fla., told Newsmax that Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., was more wanted for House speaker than Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio.
"McCarthy actually got 210 votes two weeks ago. Jordan is at 199, and his trajectory is going down," Giménez explained. "So, McCarthy is actually wanted by more members of our delegation than Jim Jordan." "McCarthy was a victim of a drive-by shooting where eight Republicans ... decided that they're going to join 208 Democrats to derail the America First agenda," the lawmaker argued. "So yeah, that's why I want McCarthy."
Instead, he is pushing for the House Republican Conference to reconvene and decide on a "consensus" candidate that everyone can get around.
