"Republican House Speaker Candidates Withdraw from Fox News Forum Amid Backlash"
TL;DR Summary
Republican candidates for House Speaker, Jim Jordan and Steve Scalise, have withdrawn from a planned joint interview on Fox News after facing backlash from GOP lawmakers. The decision to participate in a televised interview before addressing the GOP conference infuriated many Republicans, who viewed it as a circus and an intrusion on the internal party race. Moderate Republicans, who hold sway in the speakership election, are uneasy about the conservative politics of Jordan and Scalise and remain angry at their hardline faction for ousting Kevin McCarthy.
