"Unraveling the Chaos: The GOP's Speaker Dilemma"
TL;DR Summary
The current Republican turmoil over the House speakership has similarities to the chaotic situation in 1998, when House GOP lawmakers were also feuding over leadership. Just like now, personal vendettas and warring factions led to an internal party fight, resulting in multiple potential speakers being cycled through before settling on a compromise choice. While the 1998 crisis was resolved swiftly, the current drama continues with uncertainty over who will be elected as the new speaker.
