Will there ever be a new House speaker?
Why the House can’t elect a speaker to lead it. And the temporary solution some Republicans are proposing in the meantime.
Read more:
For two weeks, the House of Representatives has had no speaker. After the ouster of Kevin McCarthy, Republicans tried to push a replacement through. First, there was Majority Leader Steve Scalise, and then a second choice emerged: firebrand Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio). But after two votes,
Republicans failed to get behind Jordan, a conservative best known as a founding member of the House Freedom Caucus.
Marianna Sotomayor breaks down why Republicans didn’t coalesce behind Jordan and what the party is thinking now about how to legislate without a permanent speaker.
