McCarthy Fails in Marathon Votes for Speaker, House AdjournsRepublican leader Kevin McCarthy is falling far short in voting to become House speaker. House Republicans fell into disarray on the opening day of the new Congress, refusing by more than a dozen votes to elect McCarthy in multiple rounds before finally adjourning. McCarthy is fighting to become speaker as his party takes slim control of the chamber. The mood was tense as voting by all House members left McCarthy well short of the majority he needed. McCarthy was battling right-flank conservatives who refuse to give him their votes. The House agreed to return at noon Wednesday.

US House in chaos after Kevin McCarthy loses speaker votesRepublican rebels defeated party leader Kevin McCarthy three times. Can he still find a way to win? When they realize they're not gonna get Kev then they'll have to get serious and find a servant of the people and not a power hungry mongrel Lol. Chaos? Ha ha, no. This is just the procedure. Previously they went through over 130 rounds of votes! There is no GOP 'chaos'. The GOP constituents have never had more voice or power than we do right now. If DNC cared half as much about you as Freedom Caucus cares for us you might have something to show for. But hey you get unanimous gaslighting and future faking so cool!
