Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has expressed confidence that Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) can succeed him to become the new House speaker.

“I think Jim Jordan can get there,” Mr. McCarthy told Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.” “I’m one who understands how difficult it is. I did walk in with more support during this time, but I believe at the end of day, Jim can get there.”
