Incoming freshman lawmakers arrived in Washington for orientation on Sunday facing a chaotic week ahead, with the fate of the majority in the House still in flux and uncertainty about what the leadership makeup will look like as they brace for life in the new Congress.
While neither party has secured the majority, House Republicans are scheduled to hold their leadership elections on Tuesday despite pushback from rank-and-file members and conservative outside groups.
The three-way race between National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Tom Emmer , Republican Study Committee Chairman Jim Banks , and Chief Deputy Whip Drew Ferguson to become the next House Republican whip has also become increasingly competitive due to the razor-thin margin the GOP faces.
Several representative-elects said they are unsure whom they will support in the contested leadership contest and feel they should wait until more midterm races are called before any decisions are made. “I think we don't even know if we're in the majority, so I think it's responsible to just look and see where the cards fall right now, and we don't know that,” Rep. George Santos added.
