House Of Representatives To Resume Voting For Speaker Shortly

US
The US House of Representatives will shortly resume voting for the next speaker following three ballots yesterday which failed to deliver the gavel to GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).
  • Proceedings can be followed here: https://live.house.gov/
  • McCarthy is facing a persistent rebellion from conservative Republican lawmakers who have refused to moderate their position despite considerable concessions from McCarthy.
  • McCarthy notable failed to reduce the vote deficit against him over the three votes with all signs pointing to a protracted battle which is unlikely to be resolved even if McCarthy manages to get over the line.
  • There are serious implications for the fate of crucial legislation like raising the debt ceiling looming in the summer, and further aid to Ukraine.
  • Republican quarrelling will be welcomed by Democrats who ring in the new year in a position of comparative strength and will be pushing hard to maintain for a full caucus for the duration of voting minimizing the risk of Democrat fatigue offering a pathway to the speaker’s gavel for McCarthy.
  • Early this morning, former President Donald Trump called on rebels to drop the blockade and vote in favour of McCarthy.
