Former House Speakers Newt Gingrich and John Boehner say House Republicans should give Speaker Pro Tempore Patrick McHenry more power if the conference cannot unite to elect a new speaker.
In a blog post on his website Tuesday, Mr. Gingrich made the case that if House Republicans “cannot resolve the speakership in the next few days,” they would be better off giving Mr. McHenry, who became speaker pro tempore after Rep. Kevin McCarthy, California Republican, was ousted from the position last month, enough power for “at least the end of the year.”
Right now, Mr. McHenry, North Carolina Republican, does not have the power that an elected speaker would have, causing all legislation — including any upcoming funding bills — to come to a screeching halt. Included in that stoppage is a $100 billion aid package from President Biden for Ukraine and Israel.
“Speaker Pro Tempore McHenry is a lot better solution than gridlock and chaos,” Mr. Gingrich wrote. “He should be empowered this week, and let’s get on with the people’s business.”
