I'm not sure what happens if they don't elect a Speaker. I assume there will be further balloting, but if the Perpetual No Caucus keeps voting "no," then there is no Speaker, Congress can't act, and Congress can't certify Trump and Vance's victory.

If a Speaker is not elected, Congress may be unable to act or certify election results.Delegate Stacey Plaskett expressed frustration on the House Floor after being reminded that non-voting delegates from U.S. territories cannot participate in the Speaker vote. Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi appeared disengaged during the proceedings. #politics
