Rep. Van Duyne to Newsmax: House Must Pick Strong Leader

By Sandy Fitzgerald | Thursday, 19 October 2023 12:59 PM EDT


The House needs strong leadership, "and we needed it several weeks ago," Rep. Beth Van Duyne told Newsmax on Thursday, commenting before news broke that Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, appears to be putting his bid to replace ousted Speaker Kevin McCarthy on hold.

"There's just way too much on our plates right now to not have a speaker in that office," the Texas Republican, who said she supports Jordan in his bid for the seat, told Newsmax's "National Report."

Van Duyne pointed out that the country is facing the border crisis, as well as being in the middle of a continuing resolution enacted earlier this month to keep the government open.

"We've got until Nov. 17 to figure out a solution before our funding runs out for the government, not to mention what's happening in Israel," she said.

Meanwhile, President Joe Biden, in an address Thursday night from the Oval Office, will ask Congress for $100 billion in support for Israel's war against Hamas and the war in Ukraine, and Van Duyne said she thinks "it's a mistake" to ask for funding for both wars as "part of a package."

"They're two separate countries, two separate wars, and two separate instances," she said. "I think right now what we're seeing in Israel is horrendous. We've sent aid to Ukraine, several tens of billions of dollars of aid and we've asked for an accounting of that."

However, a speaker is needed so legislation can be brought onto the floor, "so before we can have these conversations, we've got to get a speaker in place," said Van Duyne.

And even though she supports Jordan, she wants to see the "Jim Jordan that shows the same veracity that he's got in the Judiciary Committee."
