Kevin McCarthy (R-CA)\u200d in a historic vote. The\u2063 two main \u200ccontenders for the position \u200care \u200dHouse\u2062 Majority \u200dLeader Steve Scalise (R-LA)\u2063 and Rep. Jim\u2064 Jordan (R-OH). As the \u2062GOP members deliberate\u200b on their decision, \u2062here are three key things to know \u2062about this consequential meeting.<\/p>\n<h3>Foreign and Domestic Crises Shake \u2062Biden&#8217;s Promise \u2063of Stability<\/h3>\n<p>Who \u200dis backing Scalise\u200d and Jordan?<\/p>\n<p>While Jordan currently holds more public endorsements, including one from former President Donald Trump,\u200c neither candidate has secured a majority of the \u2063House Republican \u200dConference. Most\u200b Republicans have refrained\u200b from endorsing a specific \u200bcandidate, and no clear winner\u2064 emerged after the conference&#8217;s candidate\u200d forum on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Scalise enjoys the support of \u2063prominent Republicans in the \u2064House, such as House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) and House Republican Conference Secretary\u200c Lisa McClain (R-MI),\u200b as well as several moderate\u2064 representatives in the \u200cHouse GOP conference.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan, on the other hand, has garnered support\u200d from the conservative\u200c wing of the GOP conference, including Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) and others.<\/p>\n<h3>Potential House Rules Changes<\/h3>\n<p>One of the most debated\u200c House rules that could be altered \u2064with the new speaker election is \u2064the \u2062motion to vacate.\u2064 In\u2062 January, the threshold \u200cto bring\u2062 a motion to vacate \u200bwas reduced to one representative, and last week, Rep.\u200c Matt Gaetz (R-FL) exercised\u2062 this\u2063 option, resulting in\u200d the\u200b removal of the speaker for the first time in history.<\/p>\n<p>Many Republicans were \u2064outraged by\u200b how easily McCarthy was ousted through the motion to vacate. \u2063In response,\u200c 45 House Republicans signed a letter calling for &#8220;fundamental change&#8221; to the GOP conference structure.<\/p>\n<p>Changing the threshold for a motion to vacate is\u200b expected to be a contentious issue among Republicans as they decide on\u2063 their \u200bnominee for House speaker. Another proposed change\u200d is to require a\u2062 nominee\u200c to\u200d secure 217 votes rather than a\u2064 simple majority, aiming to avoid a lengthy speaker election on the House floor.<\/p>\n<h3>Impact on the House of Representatives<\/h3>\n<p>The outcome of this meeting will have a\u2063 significant impact on the functioning of the House of Representatives,\u2062 as the lower chamber cannot \u2062operate without a speaker.<\/p>\n<p>If Republicans remain divided between the two candidates and fail to proceed to a House floor vote, the \u200blower chamber will\u200b be \u2064unable to pass any \u200clegislation, even with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/three-things-to-know-ahead-of-house-republicans-closed-door-meeting-to-nominate-next-speaker\/\" title=\"Key points before House Republicans' closed-door meeting to select the next speaker\">potential \u2062government shutdown looming<\/a>\u2062 in just over \u2062a month.<\/p>\n<p>The House GOP may opt \u200dfor a\u2062 simple majority\u200c to select the nominee for \u2063speaker,\u200d but \u2063this could\u200b result in a lengthy voting process on\u2064 the House floor, reminiscent of the 15-round \u2062marathon in January when McCarthy was elected as speaker.<\/p>\n<p>To be elected as speaker, an individual must secure a\u2064 majority on \u200bthe House floor,\u200c meaning a\u200d Republican candidate\u2062 can only afford to lose four votes and still win the speakership.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK HERE TO READ \u2064MORE FROM \u200bTHE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How could the selection of\u200b the next House speaker affect the Biden administration&#8217;s ability\u200c to advance its \u200dlegislative agenda and priorities<\/h2>\n<p><span>  \u200dR-IN) and\u2063 Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ). He is also \u200dbacked by various conservative\u2062 advocacy groups, such as the House Freedom\u2063 Caucus and the \u200dClub for Growth. The \u2063divided support for Scalise and Jordan underscores the ongoing tensions within the Republican Party, \u2063as both candidates represent different\u200b factions \u200dand ideologies within the conservative movement.<\/p>\n<h3>\u200dImplications for GOP Unity \u200band Policy Agenda<\/h3>\n<p>The choice of the next House speaker will have significant implications for the Republican Party&#8217;s unity and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/three-things-to-know-ahead-of-house-republicans-closed-door-meeting-to-nominate-next-speaker-2\/\" title=\"Key points before House Republicans' private meeting to select the next speaker.\">policy agenda moving forward<\/a>. Scalise, who currently \u200cholds the \u200bposition of House Majority \u200bLeader, represents a more\u200b establishment-oriented and \u200dpragmatic approach. He has been praised\u2062 for\u200c his ability to unite different factions within the\u2062 Republican Party and build consensus\u2063 on key issues.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan, on \u2062the other\u200d hand, is a staunch conservative \u200band founding member of\u2063 the House Freedom Caucus. He has been an \u2062outspoken critic\u200c of\u200c establishment Republicans and\u2064 has advocated for a more aggressive \u200dand confrontational approach to advancing the conservative agenda. If elected as House speaker, Jordan would likely push for a more conservative policy agenda and prioritize \u2063issues such\u2064 as immigration, fiscal restraint, and social conservatism.<\/p>\n<p>The choice between\u200d Scalise and Jordan reflects the \u200bbroader battle within\u200c the Republican Party \u200dbetween the establishment wing and \u2063the conservative wing. A victory for Scalise could signal a continuation of\u200d the party&#8217;s more pragmatic and inclusive approach, while a win for Jordan would signify a shift towards\u2064 a\u200b more\u2063 confrontational and ideologically-driven agenda. The decision made by House Republicans in this nomination process will set the\u200b tone for the party&#8217;s strategy and priorities in the upcoming legislative session.<\/p>\n<h3>Impact on the Biden Administration and Democratic Majority<\/h3>\n<p>The\u2063 selection of the next House speaker will also have significant implications for the Biden administration \u2063and the Democratic majority \u200cin the House. A strong and unified Republican Party under\u2063 a new speaker could pose challenges to the \u200cBiden administration&#8217;s legislative agenda and\u2063 policy priorities. With the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cpac-2022-kicks-off\/\" title=\"CPAC 2022 Kicks Off\">midterm elections approaching<\/a>, Republicans will be \u2062eager to \u2064present a united front\u200c and appeal to their base.<\/p>\n<p>Scalise, \u2064with his ability to build broad coalitions and find\u2064 common ground, could be seen as a more formidable opponent for the Democrats. He\u200c has demonstrated his \u200dpolitical acumen and negotiation \u2064skills in previous\u200c legislative battles. Scalise&#8217;s\u200c election as House\u2062 speaker could potentially lead to a more \u200dbalanced and competitive political landscape, forcing the Biden administration to \u2063adopt \u2064a more \u2063moderate and conciliatory approach to \u2063achieve its policy goals.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, Jordan&#8217;s \u200belection as speaker could \u2063embolden the conservative base and lead to increased resistance against the Biden administration&#8217;s agenda. His confrontational style\u2062 and unwavering commitment\u2064 to \u200dconservative principles could\u2064 energize the Republican\u200b base and rally opposition against Democratic \u2062policies. This could create a more\u200d polarized and combative\u2062 political environment, making \u2064it challenging for\u2064 the Biden administration to advance its legislative priorities.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, the\u200d selection of the \u2062next House speaker is a consequential decision for House Republicans. It will \u2064determine the direction of\u2063 the party, shape its policy agenda, and impact its relationship with \u2064the Biden administration \u2063and\u2062 Democratic majority. The internal divisions and competing ideologies \u200dwithin\u200d the Republican Party will be \u200con full display as members deliberate and ultimately \u2063choose their\u2064 nominee. The\u2064 outcome of this nomination \u2063process \u200cwill have\u200c far-reaching implications for the political landscape and the future of governance in the United States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House Republicans will meet privately on Wednesday to choose a new House speaker after Rep.
