After House Republicans failed to coalesce around their speaker nominee for a second time, the floodgates have opened as members start to announce they are running for speaker.

So far, seven members have announced they are running for the highest position in the House to replace former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), who was ousted from the position more than two weeks ago. The House has been without a speaker since then. The seven candidates who announced so far are Reps. Kevin Hern (R-OK), Austin Scott (R-GA), Byron Donalds (R-FL), Pete Sessions (R-TX), Mike Johnson (R-LA), Jack Bergman (R-MI), and House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN).
