3. That's the interesting part

It's unchartered waters.

All I know is that no business can be conducted in the House until a Speaker is chosen and the House needs to certify the election on the 6th.

On edit:
Some Republican allies of House Speaker Mike Johnson are urging President-elect Donald Trump to publicly reaffirm support for him to avoid a lengthy battle to replace him that could delay the certification of Trump's election victory in January.

Newsweek has contacted spokespeople for Trump and Johnson for comment via email outside usual business hours.


Why It Matters

The first vote of the new House, when lawmakers are sworn in on January 3, is on electing a speaker. Then, on January 6, the House will meet to certify the results of the 2024 election.
