Kevin McCarthy’s run as Speaker of the House was cut short. A look at what happens next, as well as what this means for Congress and funding the government.
House Republicans took the majority aspiring to operate as a team, and run government more like a business, but have drifted far from that goal., with lawmakers unable to coalesce around a new leader in a stalemate that threatens to keep Congress partly shuttered
But it's unclear if either Scalise or Jordan can amass the 217 votes eventually needed in a floor vote to overcome opposition from Democrats. A vote could come as soon as Wednesday. McCarthy himself appeared to agree with a consensus approach. “They shouldn’t come out of there until they decide that they have enough votes for whoever they bring to the floor,” McCarthy said.
Several lawmakers, including Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., who engineered McCarthy's ouster said they would be willing to support either Scalise or Jordan. “Personally, I’m still with McCarthy," said Rep. David Valadao, a Republican who represents a California district not far from the former speaker's district.
