However,\u2064 Scalise withdrew when he\u2064 failed to gather \u2062enough support within \u2064the Republican conference. Consequently, Jordan secured the GOP \u2062nomination\u2063 for\u200d speaker.<\/p>\n<p>The urgency \u2062to select a \u2062new speaker this month arises from the possibility \u200bof a government shutdown by mid-November\u2063 if a \u200cspending deal is not reached.
