GOP Rep McCarthy's Fiery Confrontation with Gaetz Erupts in Chaos

Tensions ran high during a Republican conference meeting as Rep Kevin McCarthy reportedly screamed at Rep Matt Gaetz and Rep Michael Bost almost lunged at him. The heated exchange followed the announcement that Rep Jim Jordan is relaunching his campaign for the speakership bid. Jordan had initially put his bid on pause, but later backtracked on the decision. The meeting also discussed the possibility of empowering interim speaker Patrick McHenry until January, but some Republicans opposed the idea. The conference expects a vote to take place soon, with Jordan seeking more time to speak to holdouts.
