WASHINGTON, DC - OCTOBER 24: U.S. Rep. Kevin Hern (R-OK) leaves a House Republican conference meeting in the Longworth House Office Building on Capitol Hill on October 24, 2023 in Washington, DC. Members of the GOP conference met for a closed-door vote to select their nominee for speaker to succeed former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), who was ousted on October 4 in a move led by a small group of conservative members of his own party. Republicans nominated Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) earlier today, but he has already dropped out of the running after it became clear he could not secure enough votes.
