Topline
Nearly a dozen House Republicans tossed their hat in the ring for the speakership after the GOP’s abrupt removal of Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) as the party’s nominee, setting up a high-stakes battle for House speaker following a tumultuous three weeks of Republican infighting that has brought Congress to a halt.
