The House of Representatives is set to elect a new Speaker of the House after ousting Kevin McCarthy last week. The leading candidates are House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio).
The floor vote was expected to be delayed on Wednesday evening after at least seven MPs confirmed they would not give their support on the first vote.
A day earlier, McCarthy (R-Calif.) had told colleagues in a closed-door meeting not to nominate him again for the post he lost — even after some of his allies said dozens of Republicans would support him whether Scalise (R). -La.) or Jordan.
On October 3, McCarthy became the first speaker of the House in US history to be ousted by a floor vote.
