3 Kevin McCarthy's House Speaker Bid Falls Flat In 1st Round Of Voting
Despite an aggressive campaign to succeed Nancy Pelosi as the next speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy has failed to secure enough support in the first round of voting. Members of the Republican-controlled House on Tuesday cast 202 votes in favor of giving McCarthy the job, falling 16 votes short of the 218 he needed. Of the "no" votes he received, 19 came from members of McCarthy's own Republican party. Instead, they backed either Andy Biggs or Jim Jordan. Per House rules, representatives will continue to cast ballots in subsequent rounds of voting until someone receives a majority. Prior to Tuesday's initial vote, McCarthy said he's more than willing to subject himself to as many rounds of voting as it will take. "I will always fight to put the American people first, not a few individuals that want something for themselves," he told reporters. "So we may have a battle on the floor, but the battle is for the Republican conference and the country, and that’s fine with me."
