House Republicans Schedule Leadership Elections
October 30, 2018 at 8:11 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
“Senior House Republicans have tentatively scheduled leadership elections for the week after the midterms, a quick turnaround that favors the current leadership structure,” Politico reports.
“House Republicans are eyeing Nov. 14 for leadership elections, according to three senior Republican sources familiar with the schedule. GOP lawmakers don’t yet know whether they’ll be in the majority or the minority, though the latter seems likely.”
If the GOP loses majority, Playbook notes: “Things get a lot more complicated here. There will be one fewer spot in the leadership structure. But in a close minority, you’d assume McCarthy and Scalise move up. If it’s a blowout, all bets are off and the entire leadership gets shaken up.”
