While Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) was named interim speaker, the House is essentially unable to function until a new permanent speaker is chosen. McHenry's primary duty will be to oversee the election process for the new speaker.
Reps. Steve Scalise (R-La.) — second-ranking House Republican —and Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) — chairman of the Judiciary Committee — both announced their campaigns for speaker Wednesday afternoon.
