On 11/15/2022, House Republicans voted 188-31 to formally nominate Kevin McCarthy to serve as speaker in the next Congress, but the opposition shows the work he’ll have to do before a floor election in January, when he’ll likely need 218 votes. California Rep. Kevin McCarthy fought off a challenge by Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs and is on track to become the next speaker. McCarthy and the newly elected GOP leadership team held a news conference.

North Carolina Rep. Richard Hudson became chair of House Republicans’ campaign arm, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC). His election was uncontested.
