House Republicans continued their quest to select a speaker on Tuesday after nine of their lawmakers pitched their opinions at the GOP conference on why they should be the next speaker on Monday night.
The meeting for almost three hours ended with a legislator, Rep. Dan Meuser (R-Pa.), has dropped out of the race, but no clear front-runner has emerged.
The conference’s latest candidate forum comes 20 days after the ouster of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and the impending speaker nominations of House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio).
Both Scalise and Jordan dropped out of the race for speaker earlier this month after failing to garner enough Republican support to replace McCarthy (R-California).
