House Republicans are scheduled to choose their leaders for the next Congress on Nov. 10, one week after Election Day, according to a schedule obtained Oct. 26. The day will begin with a two-hour candidate forum, followed by afternoon elections for leader, whip, conference chair and other party posts. Members seeking a leadership position must declare their candidacy by noon Nov. 6. Republicans will also nominate a candidate for House speaker if they retain their narrow majority in the midterms. The full House is scheduled to vote for speaker on Jan. 3, when the new Congress convenes. The party’s conference rules and steering committee will be considered in sessions on Nov. 11 and 12. Elections on the rules and the steering committee’s membership are set for the morning of Nov. 12. All events are scheduled for the Capitol Visitor Center Auditorium. The timetable puts the party’s internal contest in the immediate aftermath of the midterms, when the election results will determine whether Republicans can keep control of the chamber and who is positioned to lead them.
