Rep. Carlos A. Giménez, R-Fla., told Newsmax that Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., was more wanted for House speaker than Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio.
Joining "Rob Schmitt Tonight" on Wednesday, Giménez pointed out that McCarthy got more Republican votes on his side during the initial motion to vacate than Jordan has received over the last two days.
An ardent support of the former speaker, Giménez also slammed Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., and his conservative allies for pushing McCarthy out to begin with. Giménez believes his group of Jordan holdouts are different than the eight that pushed McCarthy's ouster because he "didn't go against the wishes of the conference."
