Scoop: House Republicans set leadership elections for Nov. 13

• A rules organizing conference was set for Nov. 14, with a ratification of the GOP's rules on Nov. 15, according to a notice circulated Monday to members and obtained by Axios.
• The leadership elections will take place in the afternoon and evening of Nov. 13, following a candidate forum and an organizing conference earlier in the day.
• Members were given a Nov. 12 deadline to inform GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik's (R-N.Y) if they planned to run for a leadership position.

The big picture: While most House GOP leadership roles are expected to be set after the Nov. 13 vote, a floor vote will still need to take place in January to determine who will hold the speaker's gavel.

• If Republicans retain control, Johnson would only need a simple majority to be the conference's nominee but he'd need to hustle to lock down support for the January floor vote.

• In the event Republicans lose the majority, a minority leader vote would require just a simple majority.
• Significant shakeups are possible if Republicans are in the minority.

Zoom out: If former President Trump wins and Republicans hold the majority, Trump's backing could also play a significant role in the makeup of House GOP leadership.

• Johnson recently told Axios that he expects help from a "fully supportive" Trump in a potential speaker race.
