The U.S. House of Representatives is barreling toward its third week without a speaker, with no clear replacement in sight.

On Oct. 3, eight Republicans led by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and joined by all House Democrats, voted to oust then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.). While many Republicans expressed outrage, it quickly became clear that Mr. McCarthy had no road back to the gavel amid dissatisfaction with his leadership from within his party.
