Jim Jordan will do a great job as Speaker.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>But, he joked to the crowd, \u201cBy Monday, if we don\u2019t get our act together, George Santos will be the nominee, trust me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Embattled Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.), who is mired in legal challenges and scrutiny, has faced calls for resignation from members of his own party. Spicer\u2019s joke drew cheers and laughs from the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>His comments come the same day House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) was nominated for the leadership role. Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) withdrew his candidacy a day earlier, after it was clear that he would struggle to garner the 217 votes needed to secure the gavel.<\/p>\n<p>Spicer, who is a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a>Nation contributor, urged the House Republicans to put aside their differences and unify behind a candidate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt some point, folks, we need to think about this as a team,\u201d Spicer said. \u201cToo much is at stake. The other side doesn\u2019t care.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The race began last week after Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) was ousted following a historic vote to vacate the Speakership. McCarthy on Friday threw his support behind Jordan, whom he called a \u201cgreat ally.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cI support Jim Jordan fully, Jim was a great ally to me. He worked hard,\u201d McCarthy said in an interview with host John Catsimatidis on his \u201cCats and Cosby\u201d radio show. \u201cWe came into Congress together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe just get together, work a little longer and we can have a new Speaker in Jim Jordan next week,\u201d he added.<\/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.
