Elected Speaker

TBD

The 2023 Speaker of the United States House of Representatives election began on January 3, 2023, the opening day of the 118th United States Congress, two months after the 2022 House elections. It is the 128th Speaker election since the office was created in 1789.

The Republican Party won the majority of the seats in the 2022 elections and so the speaker of the House was expected to switch parties to the Republicans. Republican conference leader Kevin McCarthy won the nomination within the Republican conference but faced opposition from some House Republicans in the lead up to the vote. With 19 Republicans voting for candidates other than McCarthy on the first ballot, no candidate achieved the necessary majority and the election proceeded to additional ballots for the first time since the 1923 Speaker election.[1] In the first round of voting, Democratic caucus leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York's 8th congressional district received 212 votes, McCarthy of California's 20th congressional district received 203 votes, and Andy Biggs of Arizona's 5th congressional district received 10 votes; other candidates who were not formally nominated received nine votes.[2]

On the second, third, fourth and fifth votes, McCarthy again fell short of the required 218 votes.[3] Although he nominated and voted for McCarthy, Jim Jordan of Ohio's 4th congressional district emerged as the only Republican contender to McCarthy in the second round.[4] After failing to elect a Speaker following three rounds of voting on January 3, the House adjourned until January 4 at noon.[5] During the fourth vote, Texas Republican representative Chip Roy nominated Byron Donalds, who immediately became the leading Republican contender to McCarthy.[6]

Process and conventions

The speaker of the House is the presiding officer of the House of Representatives. The House elects its speaker at the beginning of a new Congress (i.e. biennially, after Election Day) or when a speaker dies, resigns, or is removed from the position intra-term. Since 1839, the House has elected speakers by roll call vote.[7] Traditionally, each of the party caucuses and conferences in the United States Congress selects a candidate for the speakership from among its senior leaders prior to the roll call. Representatives are not restricted to voting for the candidate nominated by their party but generally do, as the outcome of the election effectively determines which one is the majority party and consequently will organize the House.[8]

Representatives that choose to vote for someone other than their party's nominated candidate usually vote for another member within the party or vote present, which entails abstention. Moreover, as the United States Constitution does not explicitly state that the speaker must be an incumbent member of the House, it is permissible for representatives to vote for someone who is not a member of the House at the time, and non-members have received a few votes in various speaker elections over the past several years.[9] Nevertheless, every person elected speaker has been a member.[8]

To be elected speaker, a candidate must receive an absolute majority of the votes cast, as opposed to an absolute majority of the full membership of the House – presently 218 votes, in a House of 434 members. There is one vacancy in the incoming House, caused by the death of Donald McEachin (D-VA).[10] There have only been a few instances during the past century where a person received a majority of the votes cast and thus won the election while failing to obtain a majority of the full membership. It happened most recently in January 2021 when Nancy Pelosi was elected with 216 votes (as opposed to 218). Such a variation in the number of votes necessary to win a given election might arise due to vacancies, absentees, or members being present but not voting. If no candidate wins a majority of the votes cast for a person by name, then the roll call is repeated until a speaker is elected.[8] Multiple roll calls have been necessary only 14 times since 1789, and – prior to this election – not since December 1923, when a closely divided House needed nine ballots to elect Frederick H. Gillett speaker.[11] Upon winning election, the new speaker is immediately sworn in by the Dean of the House of Representatives, the chamber's longest-serving member.[12][13] The new Speaker then administers the oath en masse to the rest of the members of the House.[14]

During the 2019 Speaker of the House of Representatives election, Nancy Pelosi struck a deal with certain members in the Democratic Caucus that she would retire from the position of speaker after the 2022 House of Representatives elections to ensure a majority voted for her.[15] On November 17, 2022, Pelosi confirmed during a speech on the floor of the House that she would not run again for a leadership position.[16]

Declined

Result

On November 30, Hakeem Jeffries was selected by acclamation.[21]

Republican nomination

In the October 2015 Speaker of the House of Representatives election, McCarthy ran for the Republican nomination and was initially judged as the favorite.[22] As the House Freedom Caucus refused to vote for McCarthy in the full House, he did not have a majority of the House.[23][24] McCarthy withdrew from the race, and Paul Ryan was elected speaker.[25][26]

Prior to the 2022 vote, Politico reported that at least five Republican representatives had refused to support McCarthy while another nine had not publicly commented on whether they would. This threatened his bid for the speakership, as the Republican Party had a slim majority (222–212) and thus could only "afford" to lose 4 votes[c] in the speaker vote, which requires a majority vote of 218 votes.[d][27][28] It was reported that these representatives demanded that McCarthy make concessions before these representatives would support him, such as lowering the barriers for caucus members to force a vote to remove a sitting speaker.[29] House Freedom Caucus member Bob Good said that McCarthy "has not done anything to earn my vote", explaining that "[t]here's [sic] many times where we ... asked him to fight on various opportunities and various issues, and I have not seen the demonstrated fight that we're looking for."[30] The Club for Growth, a conservative political advocacy group, has openly called for House Republicans to oppose his nomination.[31]

Results

The Republican conference vote was held on November 15, 2022, and despite a challenge from Biggs, McCarthy won an overwhelming majority of votes within his caucus, electing him as the Republican nominee for speaker of the House. As McCarthy did not win at least 218 votes, a majority of the seats in the House, it caused media speculation of McCarthy's ability to be voted in as Speaker.[34][35][36]

Candidate Votes Percent
Kevin McCarthy Green tickY 188 85.8%
Andy Biggs 31 14.2%

Aftermath

In response to right-wing opposition to McCarthy's nomination, Representative Don Bacon threatened to form a coalition of moderate Republicans who would work with the Democrats to successfully install a speaker.[37] Several names were floated as a potential compromise candidate, the most prominent of which was Fred Upton, a moderate Republican who had been the representative for Michigan's 6th congressional district up to his retirement in the 2022 election cycle.[38]

McCarthy and his supporters spent December and the first days of January negotiating with right-wing opponents of McCarthy to persuade them to support him on the floor. At a closed-door meeting shortly before the speaker vote on January 3, Mike Rogers of Alabama threatened dissident Republicans with removal from House committees.[39]

Election of the speaker

The election for speaker began on January 3, 2023, at the start of the 118th Congress. At the time of the proceedings, there was one vacant seat, Virginia's 4th district.[10][40]

Day one

First ballot

On the first ballot, 19 Republicans voted for candidates other than McCarthy; Jeffries received the most votes with all Democrats present voting in his favor, but since no nominee received an outright majority of the vote, a second ballot took place for the first time since the December 1923 speaker election.[10][41] Elise Stefanik of New York gave a nominating speech for McCarthy, Pete Aguilar of California nominated Jeffries, and Paul Gosar of Arizona nominated Andy Biggs.[5][42]

Lee Zeldin, whose term as a House member had ended with the close of the 117th and previous Congress, was no longer an incumbent representative.[43]

Second ballot

On the second ballot, the same 19 Republicans voted against McCarthy, this time coalescing their votes around Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio. Representative Matt Gaetz of Florida nominated Jordan, while Jordan himself nominated and voted for McCarthy. Aguilar again nominated Jeffries.[4][44][45]

Third ballot

Republican Steve Scalise of Louisiana nominated McCarthy, Chip Roy of Texas nominated Jordan, and Aguilar again nominated Jeffries. Jordan again voted for McCarthy, not for himself.[5] On the third ballot, Representative Byron Donalds of Florida, who had voted for McCarthy on the first two ballots, instead voted for Jordan, increasing Jordan's vote total to 20.[46] Donalds wrote on Twitter about his decision to change his vote, stating that "the reality is Rep. Kevin McCarthy doesn't have the votes."[4][47]

After the third ballot, Republican Tom Cole of Oklahoma moved to adjourn the meeting until noon on January 4, and the motion was approved by voice vote.[5][48]

Day two

Fourth ballot

Ahead of the fourth ballot of voting on January 4, former President Donald Trump reaffirmed his support for McCarthy to be the Speaker of the House and urged all House Republicans to vote for him.[49] After a quorum call, Mike Gallagher nominated McCarthy, Aguilar again nominated Jeffries, and Roy nominated Byron Donalds.[6] The 20 members who had voted for Jordan in the third ballot instead voted for Donalds. Victoria Spartz, who voted for McCarthy in each previous ballot, voted present.[6]
