Six votes and six failures for Kevin McCarthy (R) to become the new Speaker of the House. Sixteen Republican members of the House voted against him last vote. Has not occurred since 1923. McCarthy has already moved into the Speaker's office a week ago, Matt Gaith pointed that out today on the 1200 news. Well that seems rather premature on his part. Seems the new Republican majority in the House is split from day one (radicals vs conservatives). I bet the Dems are liking this amusing show. There is a new alternative in the making, see the article.

The 44-year-old Florida Republican received support from a group of hard-right Republicans for House speaker on Wednesday, a day after he joined them in opposing McCarthy’s bid for the speaker’s gavel.
