Jeff Hoover looks up to the cheers from the gallery following his swearing-in in Frankfort, Ky., on Jan. 3, 2017. Kentucky’s House speaker, who said he would resign his leadership position after acknowledging he settled a sexual harassment claim with a female legislative staffer, now says he’s reconsidering that decision. Hoover announced his resignation in November, saying at the time that it was “effective immediately.” But his resignation is not official until he submits it to the House of Representatives. The House convened Tuesday, but Hoover did not resign. (AP Photo/Timothy D. Easley, File)
