McCarthy Willing to Serve as House Speaker Again, Pledges to Follow Conference's Wishes

Kevin McCarthy, who was recently ousted as House speaker, has expressed openness to returning to the role if the Republican conference wants him to. McCarthy initially stated he would not run again for the position, but in a recent interview, he said he would do whatever the conference wants. While other Republicans like Steve Scalise and Jim Jordan have expressed interest in the position, McCarthy still has support within the caucus. The House is currently facing a leadership vacuum, and there is growing pressure to replace McCarthy with just over a month before government funding runs out.
