House Lawmakers Work Towards Electing New Speaker On Capitol Hill

WASHINGTON, DC - OCTOBER 20: U.S. House Majority Leader Tom Emmer (R-MN) reacts as Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) tallies votes as the House of Representatives votes for a third time on whether to elevate Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) to Speaker of the House in the U.S. Capitol on October 20, 2023 in Washington, DC. After falling short in two consecutive votes for Speaker, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) vowed he would continue to try and lead the House, which has been without an elected leader since Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was ousted from the speakership on October 4.
