GOP lawmaker calls on House to urgently reinstate Kevin McCarthy as speaker to approve Israel aid
Fox News
Rep. John Duarte, R-Calif., told FOX News that Kevin McCarthy needs to be reinstated as House speaker as Congress' lower chamber is rendered unable to provide aid to Israel.
"We did pass H.R. 1 to make sure America had its own energy supply. And Kevin McCarthy has been engaged in world affairs. We need Kevin McCarthy back in the speakership right now. We need to get that vote done this week." Taylor Penley is an associate editor with Fox News.
Duarte alleged the vacant speakership may have played a role in Hamas' timing, particularly since the vote to oust McCarthy renders the chamber unable to approve new aid.
