Roll Call's article After McCarthy’s Stunner, Republicans Who Could Be Speaker names Chaffetz, Hensarling, Roskam, Scalise, Price, Webster, and Sessions as possible candidates. Paul Ryan, Gowdy, Hal Rogers, Jim Jordan, and Mac Thornberry all said no. Republicans have also discussed the possibility of an interim speaker such as John Kline or Candice Miller.

Charlie Dent has also mentioned the possible need for a bipartisan coalition.

Ryan is looking more and more likely.

How do you see that coming about when he's already declined to run post-McCarthy announcement?

I could definitely see a "Draft Ryan" movement succeed, especially in this climate. Though it seems like Ryan, as a sane person with higher ambitions, really, really doesn't want the job.
