BREAKING: Kevin #McCarthy Looses 4th Ballot To Become Speaker?—-The GOP leader Kevin McCarthy appears to have lost a fourth bid to become House speaker, as Republicans returned to the Capitol Wednesday to do what they couldn’t do Tuesday: elect a new House speaker.
The situation has left Congress paralyzed, since no member of the House of Representatives can be sworn in and no rules can be adopted until a speaker is chosen.
The House remained stuck after McCarthy was nominated, for a fourth time in two days, for the top job in that chamber. He appears to have failed again to have secured that job.
