House GOP Fails to Unite Behind Speaker Candidate Despite Emotional Meeting Focused on Unity

House Republicans held an emotional meeting to discuss the speaker crisis but failed to unite behind one candidate.

Some members expressed frustration toward the 8 who opposed McCarthy. Others urged unity due to crises like Israel, the border, inflation.

Neither Scalise nor Jordan spoke at the meeting. It was for members to share views.

Israel and GOP support of Israel was a recurring topic and got applause.

Republicans remain divided on how to move forward. Some want rules changes, others say more time is needed to unite.
