Fox News
Republican presidential candidates reveal who should be elected as the next GOP Speaker of the House, after the controversial ousting of former Speaker Rep. Kevin McCarthy.
Given their slim majority and unanimous support from House Democrats, a small group of eight Republicans voting along with every Democrat on the floor were successful in removing McCarthy Tuesday.
Reps. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, Steve Scalise, R- La., Tom Emmer, R-Minn., and Kevin Hern, R-Okla., have all been floated as potential candidates, as the House scurries to quickly elect a new speaker in the coming days.
