Despite this, \u200cthe race for \u2062speaker\u200b is far from over,\u200b as other Republicans are \u2063now stepping up \u200cto \u200bthe plate.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Elise \u2062Stefanik (R-NY) is one of the frontrunners for the position, as\u2062 she has gained\u200c the support of both moderate and conservative factions within the party. \u200bStefanik is\u2062 known\u200d for her strong leadership \u200dand impressive record, making her a compelling choice\u2062 for many \u2064Republicans.
