Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., the temporary leader of the House of Representatives and the speaker pro tempore, leaves the Republican caucus meeting at the Capitol in Washington, Thursday, Oct. 12, 2023. took the House speaker’s gavel for the first time, he slammed it down with such force at adjournment that it gained viral internet attention as the defining image of a House in turmoil.
“That's the goal,” McHenry said earlier Thursday when asked if he would put a vote for speaker on the House floor.. The 10-term lawmaker, who is a close McCarthy ally, is trying to both soothe tempers in the Republican conference while dealing with mounting pressure to act to show America's global strength.
“What’s taking place in the world — it’s important that we take time to empower the present speaker who’s there under rules that were never really officially developed,” said Joyce earlier this week. Hardline conservatives and mainstream Republicans alike said Thursday they wanted to stay focused on electing a new speaker, and many are likely to resist handing McHenry more authority.
