There seems to be a misunderstanding. The House continues normal operations under a Speaker Pro Tem. The Speaker chair only needs to be filled 1st in Jan of a new Congress to set the rules. Since that was done in Jan the GOP can take time to elect a new Speaker
Think about it. If a Speaker died while in office, the Congress would still need to keep working while a new Speaker was elected
