TL;DR

Nine Republican representatives have entered the race for the House speaker position, following the failed bid by Rep. Jim Jordan. The House Republican conference remains deeply divided, as previous attempts to elect a speaker have been unsuccessful. A forum for the contenders will be held on Monday, with a vote to narrow down the candidates scheduled for Tuesday. A "unity pledge" has been introduced to ensure support for the elected candidate on the House floor.
