House Lawmakers Work Towards Electing New Speaker On Capitol Hill

WASHINGTON, DC - OCTOBER 13: U.S. House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) arrives to a House Republican caucus meeting at the U.S. Capitol on October 13, 2023 in Washington, DC. House Republicans continue to debate their pick for Speaker after their initial nominee, Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA), withdrew his name from the race after failing to secure the number of votes needed. The full House of Representatives is expected to vote on a replacement for former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) after he was ousted last week. (Photo by Win McNamee/Getty Images)
