Speaker Vote: Dave Joyce to file resolution to empower McHenry’s powers as pro tempore
Rep. Dave Joyce (R-OH) is planning to file a motion Wednesday to empower Speaker Pro Tempore Patrick McHenry (R-NC) in his position following Rep. Jim Jordan’s (R-OH) failure to secure the speaker’s gavel on Tuesday.
“After two weeks without a Speaker of the House and no clear candidate with 217 votes in the Republican conference, it is time to look at other viable options. By empowering Patrick McHenry as Speaker Pro Tempore, we can take care of our ally Israel until a new Speaker is elected,” Joyce said in a statement to the Washington Examiner.
