A Local Culinary Adventure: inspired by Halifax's Seaport Market | SaltWire #cooking #cookingtipsWASHINGTON - Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives will try to unite around a new speaker to lead their fractious and narrow majority on Wednesday, a week after a small group of dissidents ousted Kevin McCarthy.
Voting is due to begin at 9 a.m. , starting what could a long and messy process to install a new speaker after a small faction of far-right Republicans deposed McCarthy last week and threw the chamber into chaos. Scalise and Jordan told Republicans at a closed-door forum on Tuesday night that they would each back the candidate chosen as nominee, an agreement that could help expedite matters.
It took only eight Republicans to oust McCarthy last week, a fact that could make leading the caucus a challenge for any new speaker. "The answers were vague today, and I think that causes problems," Buck told reporters."Kevin found that out." At least 217 House Republicans will need to agree on a candidate to avoid a repeat of January's messy speakership battle, when McCarthy needed 15 rounds of voting to win the speaker's gavel.
