The House Republican conference will meet on Columbus Day amid the fight for the speaker's gavel after now-former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's ouster on Tuesday.
The House Republican conference will be meeting Monday at 6 p.m. amid the fight for the speaker's gavel, Fox News Digital has learned. Two House GOP aides familiar with the meeting confirmed that the Republican members will be convening on Columbus Day, a federal holiday. Republican members will likely discuss their conference's replacement for former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., after his ousting Tuesday.
The meeting comes amid the fight for the speakership that is seeing House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, jockey for the gavel. Republican Study Committee Chairman Kevin Hern, R-Okla., is also circling around the speaker race but has not formally entered the fray. The House GOP conference is largely splitting between Scalise and Jordan, with the latter scoring a speaker endorsement from former President Trump.
