Kevin McCarthy lost his speakership position earlier this week by a vote of 216 to 210 favoring a motion to vacate.
President Joe Biden delivers remarks on new Administration efforts to cancel student debt and support borrowers at the White House on October 4, 2023, in Washington, D.C.In public statements on Wednesday, the Biden administration said it is not celebratory of Kevin McCarthy’s ouster from his role as speaker of the House, but rather concerned that the situation will make it difficult for Congress to respond to crises facing the country.
It’s anyone’s guess who the next speaker will be, as Republicans are set to have what will likely be a contentious battle within their ranks over who should lead them. The most probable choices, however, aren’t likely to seek the kind of unity that Biden has publicly called for.), the choices will likely come down to two figures — Rep. Steve Scalise , the current House Majority Leader, and Rep. Jim Jordan , the chair of the House Judiciary Committee.
