\n\tBret Baier<\/a>, chief political anchor for Fox News<\/a>, will conduct a joint interview with Rep. Jim Jordan<\/a> (R-OH), Rep. Steve Scalise<\/a> (R-LA) and Rep. Kevin Hern<\/a> (R-OK) on Monday on Capitol Hill in regards to the race for House speaker.<\/p>\n

\n\tJordan and Scalise have introduced their bids to succeed Kevin McCarthy, who was ousted this week, whereas Hern has stated he’s mulling a run for the submit. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe interview will air on Special Report<\/em> on Monday, upfront of a vote on Tuesday, the community stated. <\/p>\n

\n\tPunchbowl News first reported on Baier\u2019s interview. There might be no viewers, however the occasion doubtless might be carefully watched by the Republican caucus as they attempt to elect a brand new chief.<\/p>\n

\n\tDonald Trump, who himself has been pitched as a candidate and has expressed a willingness to take action, endorsed Jordan<\/a> for speaker in a Truth Social submit early on Friday, writing that he has \u201cmy complete and total endorsement.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWeighing in in opposition to Jordan was former Rep. Liz Cheney<\/a>, who in a speech on Thursday cited his involvement in Donald Trump\u2019s efforts to overturn the 2020 election outcomes, ensuing within the assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021. \u201cThere was a handful of people, of which he was the leader, who knew what Donald Trump had planned,\u201d she stated. \u201cSomeone needs to ask Jim Jordan, \u2018Why didn\u2019t you report to the Capitol Police what you knew Donald Trump had planned. You were in those meetings at the White House.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tShe added, \u201cIf Republicans decide that Jim Jordan should be the speaker of the House<\/a> \u2026 there would no longer be any possible way to argue that a group of elected Republicans could be counted on to defend the Constitution.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
