The House Speaker race continues after Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA.) withdrew and Rep. Austin Scott (R-GA.) emerged to challenge Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH.). Henrietta Treyz, Veda Partners Managing Partner and Director of Economic Policy Research, belives it will be difficult for Jordan to rally sufficient bipartisan support to secure the House Speakership. With the Speaker race unsettled, Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC) is tasked with overseeing the vote as Speaker Pro Tempore. However, pressing global issues are arising, from Israel-Hamas tensions to Ukraine aid, requiring legislative action. Given the uncertainty around the Speaker vote, Treyz suggests current Pro Tempore McHenry becoming Speaker may be the "path of least resistance." "Remember these are the players of the game, these congressmen, but they're also the referees," Treyz tells Yahoo Finance, adding: "So when they need to change the rules they do."
