Some House Republicans are not taking a liking to the conference's closed-door meetings to choose a new chamber speaker, even though that is typically the norm for such discussions. House GOP Reps. Matt Gaetz of Florida and Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia have chirped on social media about their party's secluded meetings to choose a speaker candidate. The meetings culminated with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La.
According to a GOP staffer, the speaker's deliberations are typically conducted behind closed doors for both parties as the House elects the speaker internally from the assembled members — though technically it can be anyone, even if they're not a member. 'Let’s do this on the House floor instead of behind closed doors,' Greene tweeted. 'Stop dragging it out.
It is still unclear on when the House GOP will hold the official vote to determine the next speaker to succeed McCarthy. Scalise was chosen on Wednesday as the GOP's nominee for speaker, defeating House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio.
