House GOP to vote on nominating McCarthy for speaker, but his candidacy won’t be secured until January
Fox News
Republicans will elect their official candidate for House speaker Tuesday as conservative hardliners within the House Freedom Caucus signal objections to Kevin McCarthy.
Despite the anticipated challenge, McCarthy is likely to win the designation Tuesday. It does not, however, mean that his speakership bid is secured. Haris Alic is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital covering Congress.
To become speaker, McCarthy will need at least 218 votes if the entire 435-member House is seated and voting in January.
