Last week, embattled House Republicans moved to remove Jim Jordan as the party's nominee after three unsuccessful rounds of votes.

A previous nominee, Steve Scalise, abruptly dropped out on 13 October, just a day after his party chose him.

It is unclear who the party will now nominate for the position.

House Republicans will hear from nine new candidates at a closed-door forum on Monday evening, which is expected to be followed an internal conference vote on Tuesday.

A vote could follow on the House floor as early as the same day, although the eventual nominee may be given more time to garner votes among his colleagues in the fractured conference.

Let's take a look at the lawmakers that are vying for the position.

Mr Emmer, however, may have difficulties in securing votes from right-wing Republicans and allies of former president Donald Trump, some of whom have criticised him voting to certify the results of the 2020 election in Joe Biden's favour. Only two of the nine Republican Speaker candidates chose to do so.

Why not. Sent to RNC. Better than the others. BTW, no response.

I'm throwing my hat in the ring to be house speaker. Logical and no stated party affiliation. Will definitely shut down stupid speakers. "Representative XXXX, what you have said makes no sense whatsoever, and we are all dumber for hearing this. Next item...."

GOP responding to headline: "No seriously, someone tell us, we obviously can't figure it out ourselves."

Somehow over the weekend I forgot that this clown show was still going, but I guess we have another week of the GOP punching themselves in the face and then blaming democrats for not helping them when it’d literally take about five (out of 200+) GOP members to vote in Jeffries and end it.
