It has been 20 days since Rep. Kevin McCarthy was removed as speaker of the House.
Nearly three weeks have passed since the House of Representatives had a speaker. They are expected to hold a candidate forum Monday night and look for someone to succeed Rep. Kevin McCarthy who was ousted earlier this month.“This is embarrassing for the Republican Party. It’s embarrassing for the nation, and we need to look at one another and solve the problem,” McCarthy said.Since then, numerous Republicans have thrown their hats into the political ring including Reps.
The House of Representatives is basically at a standstill until a new speaker is confirmed, which means no legislation can pass like policy bills and government funding bills.“This deadline for government funding will be on top of us before we know it, so it would really behoove the Republicans to get a speaker this week and get in the game,” CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings said.
“The only way to do it is to figure out how we can partner in a bipartisan fashion to reopen the House and govern in a reasonable, common-sense way,” minority leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries said.
