John Duarte (R-Calif.) argued in a Monday interview that former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) should be reinstated in the top post, saying the unrest in Israel changes the political dynamic and the stakes in the House.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In an interview on \u201cFox &amp; Friends,\u201d Duarte said Saturday\u2019s surprise attack by Hamas on Israel necessitates an experienced leader taking the reins in Congress, and he said McCarthy \u2014 who, last Tuesday, made history as the first Speaker of the House to be ousted from the position \u2014 is the person prepared for the job.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cThere is no greater friend of Israel than Kevin McCarthy,\u201d Duarte said. \u201cWe need Kevin McCarthy back in the Speakership right now. We need to get that vote done this week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have one of our strongest allies in the world under attack, and we are dilly-dallying around with a leadership struggle in the House that should never have occurred,\u201d Duarte said. \u201cKevin McCarthy should never have been ousted. He has led through some of the most bipartisan constructive legislation that\u2019s h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ened in the House for years, and he is an excellent speaker. We need to get him back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eight Republicans voted last week with Democrats to remove McCarthy from his post. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) have announced their intentions to replace McCarthy \u2014 a decision that the House GOP conference hopes to make at the candidate conference on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Duarte said he thinks the chances of electing a new speaker were \u201cvery low, very low,\u201d saying, \u201cJim Jordan\u2019s a fine man. Steve Scalise is a fine man. They\u2019re good guys. But getting the conference lined up around them and neither one of them has the experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKevin McCarthy has put Israel first in so much of his policy and so much of his development of the Congress itself that he stands alone in his ability to navigate this with our ally, Israel,\u201d Duarte said.<\/p>\n<p>He called on Democrats to vote present or \u201ctake a walk\u201d during the Speaker vote, letting McCarthy gain the majority. Duarte noted that two members are back this week, after their health-related absences last week precluded them from voting in the decision to oust McCarthy.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cWe only need a few more votes to get Kevin McCarthy back in the chair as the speaker, where we can help our ally Israel and help the American people. We\u2019ve got a lot of work to do. We don\u2019t need a prolonged speaker fight,\u201d Duarte said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think our conference and a few Democrats are going to sober up and do what\u2019s right for the country at this point,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Duarte also predicted that McCarthy would be happy to take up the mantle again if he were called upon to do so.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cKevin McCarthy will always put the country first. If the country needs him back, and we can get him back in there, he\u2019ll serve, I have no doubt,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a> Inc.
