House Speaker vote expected to be held Tuesday
"The House is expected to vote Tuesday to possibly elect a new speaker, according to a notice posted by the Democratic whip.
Jim Jordan still facing at least "10 to 20" holdouts as speaker vote looms, Republicans say
The House has been without a speaker, who is second in line for the presidency, since Oct. 3, when Rep. Kevin McCarthy was ousted in a 216-210 vote, with eight Republicans joining all the Democrats in voting to remove him. It was the first time in history that a sitting speaker had been removed.
Rep. Patrick McHenry was immediately named speaker pro tempore, but the House has been left unable to conduct most business — including holding votes to support Israel or condemn Hamas after last week's attack.
Since McCarthy's ouster, Majority Leader Steve Scalise and Rep. Jim Jordan both threw their hats in the ring to be nominated by Republicans as the next speaker. Scalise won in a 113 to 99 vote among Republicans, but he removed his name from consideration only one day later, saying "there are still some people that have their own agendas." "
