McCarthy Open to House Speaker Role Again Despite Party Revolt, Urges Quick Resolution for Israel Aid

Kevin McCarthy says he would take the House Speaker job back if asked, despite being voted out by his own party last week.

McCarthy stresses need for House leadership amid crisis with Israel and Hamas, but says the decision is up to his fellow Republicans.

Some Republicans endorsed McCarthy's return as Speaker at a closed-door conference meeting on Monday.

The House cannot approve new aid to Israel until a Speaker is elected, facing pressure to select one quickly.

Steve Scalise and Jim Jordan are campaigning to succeed McCarthy, but no candidate has majority support yet.
