The House Begins Voting at Noon

The House will convene at 12 p.m. ET and take a procedural vote before voting on a speaker.

After both parties nominate their candidates, the House clerk will proceed to an alphabetical roll-call vote.

New York Times: “The election of the speaker has typically been a pro forma affair. But that changed in 2023, when House Republicans first took back the majority and conservatives subjected Representative Kevin McCarthy of California to a 15-ballot, four-day round of voting.”

Axios: “Johnson’s propensity for working across the aisle and cutting deals with Democrats has worn out his welcome among the House GOP’s right flank. Now, they want to make an example out of him.“
