House Republicans are facing difficulty in finding a new speaker of the House of Representatives after their first nominee, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, was ousted 10 days ago. On Friday, a small group of moderate Democrats proposed expanding the power of Speaker Pro Tempore Patrick McHenry until a new speaker is elected, while House Republicans consider their second nominee, House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan. Democrats are refusing to bail out the House Republican majority in their search for a new speaker, leaving the outcome of the power struggle uncertain.
