Matt Gaetz Mulls Jim Jordan as New GOP Leader Following McCarthy Audio Leak

Representative Matt Gaetz appeared to mull Representative Jim Jordan as a possible replacement for House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy following the release of audio where McCarthy said he was considering advising then-President Donald Trump to resign.

Gaetz, a Republican who represents Florida's 1st district, was replying to a Twitter user who had urged him and Jordan to take over the House GOP leadership from McCarthy.

The original tweet referred to McCarthy as a "RINO" (Republican in Name Only) but Gaetz' response focused on praise for Jordan, who represents Ohio's 4th congressional district.
