Televised speaker debate called off after candidates buck the spectacle
By Alex Miller - The Washington Times - Updated: 1:32 p.m. on Friday, October 6, 2023
A planned joint interview with three Republican lawmakers vying for House speaker has been called off after the candidates opted to buck the televised affair amid criticism in the GOP.
The Fox News-hosted event, which was to have featured confirmed speaker candidates House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and Rep. Jim Jordan, along with Rep. Kevin Hern, who has not publicly announced his candidacy, has been canceled, Mr. Scalise’s office confirmed.
Mr. Hern, Oklahoma Republican, was the first of the trio to drop out of the event, saying that a televised joint interview was not the right forum for the battle for the gavel.
“I still haven’t made a decision on my candidacy for speaker, but I know one thing for sure. I will not be participating in the televised debate,” Mr. Hern said on X. “We need to make this decision as a conference, not on TV. The Republican conference needs a family discussion.”
A spokesperson for Mr. Scalise, Louisiana Republican, told The Washington Times that the No. 2 House Republican was not participating in the event.
The Washington Times has reached out to Mr. Jordan’s offices.
