Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) scolded Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) during a closed-door GOP conference meeting Thursday, telling the Florida Republican to sit down when he tried to interrupt McCarthy’s remarks.
The interaction came as House Republicans met for almost four hours to consider possible paths forward as the conference struggles to coalesce around a candidate for Speaker after Gaetz led a group of eight Republicans who joined with Democrats to oust McCarthy. The conference nominated Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) for the post, but he has failed on two floor votes to secure the gavel.

..."Emmer is the only person in GOP leadership likely to seek the speakership.
Lawmakers from both parties have called on the House to choose a leader as soon as possible so that it can address pressing matters, including sending aid to U.S. allies Israel and Ukraine and approving government funding, which will run out in the middle of next month.
But with the House set to enter its fourth week without a leader, none of the new Republican candidates had a particularly clear path to the gavel."
