The House adjourned without a speaker on Tuesday for the first time in a century after Kevin McCarthy failed in a sixth straight vote for the gavel.
And in the final ballot, the GOP leader watched his support begin to chip away.
Staring down a threadbare majority, McCarthy has been unable to dislodge dug-in opposition from the right flank of his conference, who are now openly pushing for conservative hero Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) to take the gavel.
GOP lawmakers now hope to resolve their leadership battle privately after several humiliating hours on the floor. McCarthy and his allies have already begun talks with some of the 20 defectors in a desperate attempt to break the detente before the House will resume at noon Wednesday.
“We’re going to go have some more conversations tonight, to see what’s next,” said Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), one of McCarthy’s chief antagonists. He declined to say whether McCarthy’s 20 dissenters would be meeting on their own, but said the talks would include members “across the conference.”

I rarely watch the news, but the article fails to mention the Democratic Minority leader received more votes than McCarthy in all three votes.
He will never manage the House. Trumpite legislation will never see the Senate Vote. They will self destruct with endless investigations and no legislation.
But to be honest, I do want a complete investigation into Hunter Biden and how the DOJ/FBI works. On the latter we need major reform. It is ridicules that the head of the FBI for Brownsville is based in the Western District while the DOJ is based in the Southern District. This makes local corrup0tion a lot easier.

The extreme right wing of the Republican Party will sooner or later sink the party as a whole. I say it's time that traditional Republicans (not Trump ass-kissers) jettison these fuckas.
Their power would be lessened markedly if that happened.
and it will.
With those 20 asshole extremists voting against McCarthy, well, you know who's who in the traitorous congressional lot.
These people don't want government; they want raw power.
Power at any cost.
All power.
All for us, none for you.
believe it.
Yo, que tenia tantas ganas, no pude. No, no pude.
Corrian rumores que la hembra de Burgos iniciaba carrera de bailarina nocturna con el nombre Margo Largo.
bailaba en el Club de La Tentacion alla por la calle Paredes, all muy por el norte the la ciudad.
Margo Largo, toda sexy.
Si, si voto por ella en el 2024 si la puedo ver bailar semi-desnuda.
Si, si.
Margo Largo.
Sad to see grown men grovel before that fatfuck Trump. Any of them could kick his ass in a physical fight. Plus, bullies always back down.
Kevin McCarthy may just be a True Wimp - he owned yogurt shops in his native California.
yogurt.
McCarthy looks queer to me.
just saying.
This guy McCarthy is the Joey "Lazy" Lopez of Congress.
A mollusk.
Speaker or Not, Hakeem Jeffries Is the Leader of the House of Representatives Right Now
The Democrat got unanimous party support over three roll call votes. Homo Republican chump Kevin McCarthy tried to sell his soul, but found no buyer.
Republican McCarthy now knows how Republican Carlos Cascos felt after losing the county judge race last November. they don't want him!

otro mojado critica el idiota presidente de mejico que es un idiota.
He just lost the 5th vote. Side note, there are no House Committees and in a national emergency we have no government in the House. McCarthy should just resign.

Watcha como los MAGA MAGGOTS are going to say that it is ANTIFA that is prohibiting Kevin from becoming Speaker of the House. They are imposters impersonating the truly elected Republican Congressional Reps. HAHAHA what a circus. What a bunch of losers. The problem that the Republicans have right now is that the whole selection process in being televised so there is no way to cheat and steal the process. Damn, where is El NARANJON when you need him for a big steal?? OH HE WAS VOTED OUT!!! What a circus and they want to govern our country. REPUBLICANS QUE BOLA DE PENDEJOS!! Y EL NARANJON, playing golf and hiding at MAR A LAGO!! HAHA PENDEJOS
BobbyBoob, largate desgraciado. How many times did you disrespect Montoya on your idiotic blog? Juan should ban your fat ass.
no one cares what you think. You're ugly!
Hard to believe she is now 79 years old, long live Carly Simon!!!
All this chaos was caused by despicable Trump. GOP got what it deserved for not holding Trump accountable for all the unimaginable damage he caused our nation. They need to lock him up in jail once and for all. And he still wants to be president again, must be the joke of the century.
Everybody who has some sort of brain knows without a doubt that Trump is BAD for our country. This is why McCarthy has not made it as Speaker. To support McCarthy is to support Trump. If at this point, in the game, you are still supporting Trump you are only providing proof that we still need an Electoral College.
I revived the BV just for a few days to set straight the record on what happen in Executive Session concerning the city manager.
Brownsville Voice
I am pissed I had to do this. The Open Meetings Violation is with the state. It would be better is a non-cowardly lawyer would just sue the city today to end the mess.

All elected officials have their hands in his pockets and he's asking for a Hunter Biden investigation. CUANDO? NUNCA! vamos a salir de este RATISMO now we know why.......
