A third Speaker-designee will be selected from an expanding pool of candidates at a caucus meeting on Monday evening.<\/p>\n<p>The former New Jersey governor said the Speaker chaos has prevented the U.S. government from doing important policy work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust pick someone because Israel needs help,\u201d he said. \u201cUkraine needs help. Our southern border needs to be secured.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd Taiwan needs to be armed now so we\u2019re not catching up later,\u201d he added. \u201cWe need to send a message to the Chinese now that Taiwan will be ready if they come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Christie said House Republicans have been too busy arguing over \u201cwho\u2019s going to get the big office with the view of the National Mall to make sure their ego is okay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMake a decision!

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has signaled he may support it.<\/p>\n<p>But, that package relies on the House in order to be passed. The lower chamber has not considered any legislation since former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) was ousted from his leadership role earlier this month in a historic vote.<\/p>\n<p>Speaker votes are expected to continue next week after a new nominee is chosen. Candidates have until Sunday at noon to join the race.<\/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.
