TL;DR Summary

Former Republican Governor Chris Christie suggests that Rep. Jim Jordan should step aside from the race for House Speaker after losing for the second time. Christie criticizes the disarray among House Republicans and predicts that Jordan will fail to gain enough support. He urges Jordan to follow the example of Steve Scalise and step aside if he doesn't secure the position. Christie emphasizes the need for the GOP to quickly elect a speaker to address pressing issues, but dismisses the idea of electing Rep. Patrick McHenry as a temporary measure. Christie also criticizes former President Donald Trump and other GOP primary rivals on foreign policy.
