Nine Republicans Compete for House Speaker Position as the Race Heats Up

The race for the House Speaker is on, as nine Republicans have lined up to compete for the position. The current speaker, Kevin McCarthy of California, and his second in command, Steve Scalise of Louisiana, both voted against certifying Joe Biden’s win in the 2020 presidential election. This is unsurprising, as it was a common position among GOP leadership.

Jim Jordan of Ohio was one of the nine running for House speaker, but he took himself out of the running last week when it became clear that he wouldn’t get enough votes. Without a speaker, the chamber can’t conduct legislative business, making it a priority for the House to elect a new speaker.

The nine candidates have been fighting, bullying each other, fielding death threats, and playing dress-up for the cameras. It is unclear who will be the next speaker, but the House is eager to find a suitable candidate. The candidates must be able to lead the chamber and represent the Republican party in a way that is beneficial to the nation.

The House is expected to make a decision soon, as the chamber needs a speaker in order to conduct legislative business. It is a difficult decision, as the candidates must be able to lead the chamber and represent the Republican party in a way that is beneficial to the nation. The House will have to decide which candidate is the best fit for the job.
