"House GOP in Turmoil: Searching for a New Speaker Candidate after Scalise's Exit"

TL;DR Summary
House Republicans are holding closed-door meetings to discuss potential rule changes following Majority Leader Steve Scalise's unexpected exit from the speakership race. The proposed amendments aim to raise the threshold required to select a candidate for speaker, with three of them mandating that a speaker-elect must have the support of a House-wide majority before a floor vote. The amendments also include provisions for Q&A sessions and consequences for members who change their support. As of now, no new candidate has been declared, but potential contenders include Jim Jordan, Tom Emmer, and Patrick McHenry.
