Matt Gaetz looks to wife's Bible lessons in search for new Speaker: 'Defined by providence'

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) said he is looking to his wife's Bible lessons to help in the search for a new Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.

After orchestrating the plot to remove former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), Gaetz told podcast host Steve Bannon on Wednesday that his allies "have to keep the momentum."

"You know, in the coming days, I'm not going to be out there trying to force a particular candidate down anyone's throat," he said. "And you know what, Steve? There's some providence in this as well."

"And my wife is a former worship leader," he revealed. "And when I got home last night, and I was going through, could this person do it or that person do it? She says the Bible has all these stories of in these moments of providence, leaders emerge. And sometimes they come from, you know, places you don't expect."

Gaetz said he expected such a leader to rise to the occasion.
