GOP Infighting Intensifies as Speaker Vote Drags On

House GOP conference meeting grew heated as some members swore at Rep. Matt Gaetz and criticized Rep. Jim Jordan's speakership bid. Emotions ran high over death threats faced by some opposing Jordan.

President Biden acknowledged chaos in Washington over speaker vote during Israel trip, pledging $100 billion in emergency funds for Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan and US-Mexico border.

Some Republicans oppose expanding powers of interim Speaker Patrick McHenry, saying they should stay and do their work, not "kick the can down the road."

Rep. Jim Jordan explained support for resolution empowering McHenry as a way to get back to legislative work, though some Republicans say it won't help him lock down votes.

House went into brief session today before recessing again, as Rep. Jordan scrapped plans for a third speaker vote today amid lack of support.
