Washington Today (10-10-23): Pres. Biden says Hamas attack is 'sheer evil" & 'US stands with Israel'

President Joe Biden calls Hamas' attack on Israel as an "act of sheer evil," says the "U.S. stands with Israel" and confirms Americans have been killed and others are being held by Hamas. He says, "I have no higher priority than the safety of Americans being held hostage around the world.”

It is the fourth day of the Hamas attack and Israeli response that has reportedly killed more than 1,000 in Israel and over 800 in Gaza and the West Bank.

In Washington, U.S. House Republicans meet in closed session to hear campaign pitch from the Members running for Speaker, to fill the post that has been empty since a House vote last week to remove republican Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).

But it is unclear whether either of the two frontrunners, Reps. Steve Scalise (R-LA) and Jim Jordan (R-OH) can get enough Republican votes to win an absolute majority of the full House to be elected Speaker.

Speaker Pro Temp Patrick McHenry (R-NC) says it is his intent for Republicans to elect a new, permanent speaker this week.
