众议院共和党人计划在周二举行自由投票，试图选择一位新的议长——正好在他们的八名成员加入民主党少数党后两周在罢免商会前任领导人时，凯文·麦卡锡。
自从麦卡锡的历史性的驱逐众议院处于前所未有的不稳定状态，让一半的国会陷入瘫痪.
而一个临时议长共和党众议员帕特里克·麦克亨利已被提名，共和党人无法就麦卡锡的替代者达成一致。
“议员们被告知，本周的一楼投票预计将于周二下午12点左右在众议院举行，”多数党党鞭汤姆·艾默(Tom Emmer)在一份新的通知中表示。
两名共和党消息人士告诉美国广播公司新闻，发言人的投票将于周二举行。
众议院多数党领袖史蒂夫·斯卡利斯最初赢得了私人投票在共和党大会上被提名为议长但突然撤回了他的出价第二天，在党内持续的反对声中。

众议院司法委员会主席吉姆·乔丹在闭门投票中名列第二，赢得了随后的内部竞赛被提名为议长。
“我认为我可以把我们的团队团结起来，”乔丹在周五下午走进共和党候选人论坛时对美国广播公司新闻资深国会记者雷切尔·斯科特说。
然而，55众议院共和党人在周五的秘密投票中表示，他们不会在众议院议长选举中投票给约旦，目前仍不清楚他是否获得了所需的217票。
麦卡锡说，他现在支持乔丹担任这一职务。前总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)在竞选议长的早期支持乔丹，这可能对他的机会有利也可能不利，取决于这如何影响更强硬和更温和的共和党议员。

House Republicans will try, again, to elect a new speaker amid gridlock after McCarthy ouster
House Republicans plan to hold a floor vote to try and pick a new speaker on Tuesday -- exactly two weeks after eight of their members joined the Democratic minorityin deposing the chamber's previous leader, Kevin McCarthy.
Since McCarthy'shistoric ouster, the House has been in unprecedented limbo,paralyzing half of Congress.
While aninterim speaker pro tempore, Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., has been named, Republicans have been unable to agree on a replacement for McCarthy.
"Members are advised that the first-floor votes of the week are now expected in the House at approximately 12pm on Tuesday," states a new notice from Majority Whip Tom Emmer.
Two GOP sources told ABC News that the floor vote for speaker will be held on Tuesday.
House Majority Leader Steve Scaliseinitially won a private ballotin the Republican conference to be nominated as speakerbut abruptly withdrew his bidthe next day, amid continued opposition within the party.
House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, who came in second to Scalise in that closed-door vote,won a subsequent internal contestto be nominated as speaker.
"I think I can bring our team together," Jordan said to ABC News Senior Congressional Correspondent Rachel Scott as he walked into a GOP candidate forum on Friday afternoon.
However, 55 House Republicans said in Friday's secret vote that they would not cast ballots for Jordan in the full floor vote for speaker and it's still unclear if he has the 217 votes he needs.
McCarthy said he now backs Jordan for the position. Former President Donald Trump endorsed Jordan early in the race for speaker, which could work both for and against his chances depending on how that influences more hard-line and more moderate Republican lawmakers.
Minority Whip Katherine Clark urged Democrats to back their party's leader in the House, Hakeem Jeffries.
