CNN —There is still no end in sight for the high-stakes speakership battle after House Republicans ousted Kevin McCarthy more than two weeks ago. Frustrations and divisions have only intensified within the conference as Republicans search for a way to resolve the impasse. House Republicans are expected to hold a candidate forum Monday evening and more candidates are likely to throw their names into the running before then. Then, in the aftermath of McCarthy’s ouster, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise’s speakership nomination met a swift downfall when the conference failed to come together on his bid. The Ohio Republican fared worse in the vote than he had in previous failed rounds.
