Chair Jordan is reportedly working the Conference to shore up support for another bid to claim the speaker&#8217;s gavel. However, the Ohio Republican is facing some math problems of his own, as five House Republicans \u2014 Reps. Ann Wagner (R-MO), Austin Scott (R-GA), Mike Simpson (R-ID), Carlos Gimenez (R-FL), and John Rutherford (R-FL) \u2014 are currently opposed to his speakership campaign.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>What&#8217;s next?<\/strong>\u00a0The Conference has gaveled in for another round of internal speaker nominations this morning, at which point Chair Jordan is expected be nominated as a candidate. Other potential nominees that have been floated within GOP circles include House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN), Republican Study Committee Chair Kevin Hern (R-OK), Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-NY), as well as Reps. Mike Johnson (R-LA), Tom Cole (R-OK), and Byron Donalds (R-FL). However, no one else has officially launched a bid as of this writing. Additionally, lawmakers are mulling the possibility of giving the current Speaker Pro Tempore Patrick McHenry (R-NC) additional authority to bring legislation to the floor \u2014 something that could require cooperation with Democrats if some form of rules or legislative change is needed \u2014 as well as nominating him for the full-time position within the Conference.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u2014\u00a0NEXT WEEK IN CONGRESS.\u00a0Both chambers are slated to resume legislative business next week, starting first with the Senate on Monday. The upper chamber is slated to focus on pending nominations next week, which could include Jack Lew&#8217;s nomination to be Ambassador to Israel as the White House scrambles to fill the post amid the Israeli-Hamas conflict. We will also be watching to see what happens on the government funding front, as senators were in the process of considering a three-bill &#8220;minibus&#8221; before pivoting to the short-term CR during last month&#8217;s session.
