Extending McHenry's powers as interim speaker is still a possibility
North Carolina Republican Congressman Patrick McHenry has served as interim speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives since Oct. 3 after former speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-CA, was ousted. Given the failed attempts of fellow Reps. Steve Scalise, R- LA, and Jim Jordan, R-OH, to lock up a vote as the next speaker, how likely is it that McHenry will be given extended powers?
