For the second straight day, the House of Representatives has so far failed to elect a speaker after six floor votes. The rupture inside the Republican Caucus appears to be worsening for House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy as patience among some of his supporters is waning.

Congress should allow members to carry guns into the Capitol. It should be mandatory. If they get attacked again, they can blow away the terrorists. Or the trumplettes can use their arms now to "elect" a Speaker of the House.
Hey Chuck zip it… the GOP are not mindless robots like the Dems…who only follow orders from their NAZI leaders
The Republicans are going to keep screwing around and the Democrats will win Speaker of the House.
if about 150 Republicans and 75 Democrats form free will sovereignty coalition, can vote for me to be Speaker of House
The Democrats will vote for anybody that hates America that's why the people the American people reject the Pagan left
NBC is fake news
I don't buy it. I believe that this is just one more act in the long run up to fascism. McCarthy is about as sycophantic and radically far right as you can get. This is just an attempt to make him look more moderate to the masses. It should be headlined, The lights are on in the House, but the people still can't see what's really going on. The brainless GOP members like MTG, Boebert and the rest are just playing their roles to help the fascist movement.
First of all he’s from Cali…. Wasn’t the last speaker form Cali
Hhhhmm definitely time for a change
The irony is rich–after all the boasting about what they were going to do once in power, they can't even elect a speaker, which is task #1 coming out the gate. Calling each other the Taliban is just 🤣🤣😂🤣.
Sure wish this channel covered the border catastrophe, Biden's incompetence, the massive fentanyl crisis, inflation etc etc etc….with as much diligence it is covering this debacle. All M.S.M. has lost any semblance of honor!!!!! Shame on you for cowering.
WE, the American Taxpayers ,demand the publication of Hakeem Jeffries' 6 year tax returns to be raked over for errors or omissions
Disgraceful! How can you gavel the Congress when you are powerless and unable to lead unify and lead republican caucus. McCarthy is not a leader, but wannabe.
Not being from the US, what happens if the sole Democrat wins? Will that help or hinder democracy? Jus' curious. 🧐
Michael Moore said just a few repubs should change to dem and back Jeffries – that would be a curve ball – Jeffries would be Speaker.
God bless km
Macarthy has no dignity!! How he can be respected if he’s trying to impose himself!! He doesn’t have what it takes to be any house speaker!!!
This is exactly what he gets… because he helped create the extreme right MAGA republicans in his party. The very people who are now voting against him. Maybe they need to call in Liz Chaney to be speaker.
"The lights are on and no one is home." Republican politics as usual. 😖🙃
GOP ARE WACKOS
Demon Rats and McCarthy are all the same enemies of the people
