The No. 2 Republican was working intensively to win over holdouts, but there was no sign of a breakthrough that would allow the House to move forward with an election for speaker.
Multiple lawmakers refused to honor their party’s internal selection of Steve Scalise, continuing the chaos over the speakership with no end in sight.
Lawmakers were set to meet at 10 a.m. to begin voting on a nominee, but there was no consensus, opening the possibility of a drawn-out fight that would leave the House leaderless for days.
