The House of Representatives has been without a speaker since October 3rd, when former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney said the disorder gripping the House was a direct result of Kevin McCarthy's alliance with former President Donald Trump. This week, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) failed to win the speaker’s gavel in a House floor vote for the third time, and Republicans voted against him in a secret ballot. Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Fla.) said the House is unable to move forward with business due to the lack of a speaker, leaving the House in a state of limbo with no clear path forward.

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) is attempting to consolidate support from Florida's Republican congressional delegation ahead of his expected 2024 presidential bid. He has contacted four out of the six members of the delegation, asking them to hold off on making endorsements in the near future. Trump is currently leading in the polls for the GOP presidential nomination, and DeSantis is trying to prevent defections in his own backyard. So far, DeSantis has no endorsements from the 20 Republicans in the state congressional delegation, and is continuing to make his case to the delegation and build support for his potential presidential run.
