The House Republican conference is set to meet Wednesday morning to try to coalesce around a new speaker, just over a week after ousting Kevin McCarthy.
House Republicans are set to meet behind closed doors Wednesday to select their nominee for speaker after the historic ouster of Rep. Kevin McCarthy last week.McCarthy's removal set up a head-to-head battle between Majority Leader Steve Scalise and Judiciary Committee chair Jim Jordan for the gavel. The House has been at a standstill since the unprecedented vote that left the speaker post vacant, though the attacks in Israel have lent urgency to filling the role.
McCarthy, who earlier this week indicated that he was open to being restored to the speakership, said he told Republicans not to renominate him Tuesday night.The conference is considering changing the rules to ensure that a single candidate has 217 before the full House votes, in order to avoid the spectacle of the multiple rounds of voting McCarthy endured in his bid for speaker in January. No Democrat is expected to vote to support a Republican speaker.
