The three-week-old GOP leadership crisis could be resolved Tuesday, though some Republicans remain doubtful. House Republicans will gather at 9am ET to vote again for speaker after denying Majority Leader Steve Scalise and Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan. They’ll choose between the eight candidates that remained on Monday night after Rep. Dan Meuser announced he would drop out of the race. Colleagues had predicted he would receive one of the lowest vote totals on Tuesday, per Politico. In each of multiple rounds of secret voting, the candidate with the lowest vote total will be eliminated until two candidates are left or a single candidate wins a conference majority with 113 votes, per CNN.
