    No. There is the Speaker Pro Temp. They’ll run the chamber until a new vote. Speaker votes don’t need to happen any time soon either. Unlike the start of the term, the members are already sworn in and can go about regular business.

    The current Pro Temp is a McCarthy ally who was in the debt ceiling negotiations. So we’ll probably see the same as what McCarthy would be doing.
