Republicans struggle to find a new speaker of the House
House Republicans are in search of a new speaker after dropping Jim Jordan of Ohio as their nominee. Nine Republicans are now competing for the position, including Byron Donald's of Florida and retired Marine Corps Lieutenant General Jack Bergman of Michigan. However, the lack of unity within the party and the potential for extreme candidates like Jim Jordan to put the democracy at risk during election certification remains a concern.
