Tuesday marks three full weeks without a House speaker and 24 days until the government runs out of money, to say nothing of aid packages many lawmakers want for Israel and Ukraine.
Most Republicans voted for all three men as speaker, but the outside edges of the party were too big to get a majority.
Only two of the current speaker candidates supported the 2020 election results: Emmer and Scott.
Four of the current speaker candidates voted no, including Sessions.
But Trump’s power within the House GOP is limited.
