CNN reports that allies of Kevin McCarthy are considering nominating him for the position of US Speaker, complicating the House GOP's process for electing a new leader. Previously ousted from the position, McCarthy has not ruled out a return or thrown his support behind another candidate. This development has heightened tensions between McCarthy and Majority Leader Steve Scalise, who are now seen as potential rivals. The Republicans are divided over the rules and candidates for the speaker position, and it may take time to find consensus.
