“It makes a lot more sense to do this behind closed doors,” Ken Buck said.

Ken Buck said Sunday he wants House Republicans to agree on a candidate for speaker in private before putting the candidate up to the full House for a vote.
Buck told host George Stephanopoulos that sorting this out behind closed doors in “a family discussion” would lead to less grandstanding and public posturing in finding a replacement for ousted Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who was only elected to his post after multiple ballots held among very public debates. The top contenders to succeed him at this point are House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and Rep. Jim Jordan .
Buck saw this all playing out in the middle of next week. Stephanopoulos asked Buck what would happen if the House GOP couldn’t agree by midweek.
