Chaos in House GOP as McCarthy fails historic speaker vote, Jordan and Scalise enter race

Rep. Jim Jordan and Rep. Steve Scalise announced they will run for speaker after Rep. Kevin McCarthy failed to get enough votes.

McCarthy's removal was historic - never before has a nominee for speaker failed to get enough votes from their own party.

House Republicans must now quickly unify and select a new leader as they face key deadlines like funding the government.

Possible replacements include Reps. Jim Jordan, Steve Scalise, Kevin Hern and even former President Trump, though he said he's focused on a 2024 run.

President Biden said the chaos shows Washington needs to "change the poisonous atmosphere" and see political opponents as less than enemies.
