Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, who dropped out of the race on Friday. An internal vote among Republicans found that a majority wanted to pursue a new nominee.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is embarrassing for the Republican Party, embarrassing for the nation,&#8221; former speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Ca., said Sunday on NBC&#8217;s &#8220;Meet the Press.&#8221; McCarthy was ousted from his post on Oct. 3 after Republican disagreement on the budget nearly caused a government shutdown.<\/p>\n<p>After Jordan bowed out on Friday, a flurry of Republican candidates announced they would consider entering the race, including Majority Whip Tom Emmer, who appears to be a frontrunner. As of Sunday, nine Republican representatives have committed to campaigning for speaker.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the list of the Republican candidates:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rep. Tom Emmer, Minnesota<\/li>\n<li>Rep. Kevin Hern, Oklahoma<\/li>\n<li>Rep. Jack Bergman, Michigan<\/li>\n<li>Rep. Gary Palmer, Alabama<\/li>\n<li>Rep. Mike Johnson, Louisiana<\/li>\n<li>Rep. Byron Donalds, Florida<\/li>\n<li>Rep. Pete Sessions, Texas<\/li>\n<li>Rep. Austin Scott, Georgia<\/li>\n<li>Rep. Dan Meuser, Pennsylvania<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>McCarthy nominated Emmer on Friday, claiming that his ability to pass difficult bills and win majorities makes him &#8220;the best person for the job.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Many Republicans have not been as bullish on any particular speaker nominee so far.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Michael Turner, R-Ohio, and Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Tx., both said Sunday they do not yet know who they will vote for, but said that they want to get this election done so they can continue to govern.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Congress is a lot like high school but even more so, so hopefully we&#8217;ll get past this,&#8221; Turner said\u00a0on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;State of the Union&#8221; on Sunday. He added that he has been and will continue to be a part of the governing majority so the party can agree on a speaker.<\/p>\n<p>Former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney did not voice support for any specific candidate, saying on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;State of the Union&#8221; that the current state of House Republican dysfunction is not surprising.<\/p>\n<p>Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who served from 1995 to 1999, said the House Republicans are dragging their feet.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They should go into a conference, not come out, bring food in and stay there,&#8221; Gingrich said on &#8220;Fox News Sunday.&#8221; &#8220;They shouldn&#8217;t bring anybody out until they have 217.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He added that the speaker nominee needs to be able to maintain those 217 votes for the next five to six months so that Congress is not in the same situation a couple of weeks from now.<\/p>\n<p>Gingrich also said that he wishes there were women in the running like Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., and Rep. Beth Van Duyne, R-Tx., who could be &#8220;more effective&#8221; in unifying the House. Of the nine candidates in the speaker race so far, none are women.<\/p>\n<p>McCaul, who chairs the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, said that the speaker race deadlock is coming at a particularly inopportune moment, given world events such as the advent of the Israel-Hamas war and the ongoing war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>Without a speaker, the House has hampered its ability to provide funds for Israeli aid or issue a condemnation of the militant group Hamas, McCaul said Sunday on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;This Week.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The world&#8217;s on fire,&#8221; he said. &#8220;This is so dangerous what we&#8217;re doing and most importantly, it&#8217;s embarrassing, because it empowers and emboldens our adversaries.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Republicans will reconvene to discuss potential speaker candidates on Monday at 6:30 p.m. ET. Tuesday morning at 9 a.m., they will gather for a Republican conference vote and aim to hold a floor vote later that day, according to interim Speaker Patrick McHenry, R-N.C.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2023\/10\/22\/house-republicans-say-the-speaker-race-stalemate-is-embarrassing-.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The saga of electing a speaker of the House is back at square one.
