If voting happens Tuesday, it will be the first vote for the speakership since Kevin McCarthy was ousted two weeks ago.
Rep. Jim Jordan is seen in a House Republican Conference speaker election meeting after he was voted the party's nominee for speaker of the house in Longworth Building on October 13, 2023.Republicans are planning to vote on whether Rep. Jim Jordan should be speaker of the House on Tuesday, although the lawmaker doesn’t appear to have the votes necessary to win.
Republicans hold a slim majority of seats in the House, with 222 members belonging to the GOP. That means the preferred choice of Republicans can only afford to lose four votes, assuming that every Democrat in the chamber votes against them. According to Jeffries, “informal conversations” on a bipartisan consensus candidate have been taking place.
