House Republicans are scheduled to meet at 6:30 p.m. ET for a closed-door candidate forum during which nine candidates are expected to make their pitch to be the next speaker. The conference is scheduled to vote tomorrow morning on whom to nominate next.
Two Republican nominees have already quit. Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., was nominated first, but withdrew after it became clear he couldn't get enough votes on the House floor. Then Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, was nominated, but couldn't get enough support in two floor votes. He dropped out after fellow Republicans voted to revoke his nomination Friday.
The forum comes ahead of a meeting at 9 a.m. tomorrow when House Republicans will again meet in private to select a new nominee for speaker. Once they have a nominee, it's possible they'll hold a vote on the House floor tomorrow.These 9 candidates have joined the House speaker race after Jim Jordan dropped out
