U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) arrives to a House Republican caucus meeting at the U.S. Capitol on October 12, 2023 in Washington, DC. House Republicans continue to debate their pick for Speaker after their initial nominee, Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA), failed to secure the number of votes needed. The full House of Representatives is expected to vote on a replacement for former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) after he was ousted last week.
