"Fox News Speaker Debate Canceled Amid GOP Backlash and Controversy"

The Fox News House speaker debate, which was scheduled to take place on Monday, was canceled after the three invited Republican candidates declined to participate due to concerns within the GOP that the event could further deepen divisions within the party. The decision came after pressure from other Republicans and criticism that the televised debate would not help the party work through its current delicate and difficult times. Republicans are expected to hold a candidate forum and potentially a new election for the House speaker position in the coming days.
