Steve scalise, the man elected by the Republican Caucus to be the next speaker but was short of the votes to do so as just announced, apparently, inside the republican conference, that he is withdrawing his name from the speakership. We dont know why, other than the whip count a vote against him within the Republican Caucus today and ballooned to 16 or 17 votes. People were saying he could not get to 217 either to be elected Speaker Of The House. This comes a week and a half after mccarthy was deposed, successful with eight members voting i along with all the democrats. Theres been a speaker pro tem, Patrick Mchenry since then, serving in a custodial fashion. This is all totally unprecedented in american history. We havent had this before. Its 100 years ....

Administration has started building a 20mile stretch of Donald Trumps wall . Good day, everyone. Im Andrea Mitchell in washington. Congressman jim jordan, steve scalise, and kevin hern have all signed on for a televised debate monday night, as republicans struggle to find the next speaker of the house. Fox news is set to host the debate before the gops closed door forum on tuesday. It is a very unusual approach, especially following an unprecedented vote to remove Kevin Mccarthy and the decision to not air their dirty lenin in public. Donald trump threw his weight behind jim jordans pitch to become the speaker, calling him a star. But liz cheney, cochair of the january 6th committee, at which jordan, of course, refused to appear, says, jordan is part of the conspiracy. Jim jordan knew more about what donald trump had pla ....
Scotlands labour leader anas sarwar echoed these thoughts, saying his country would be key in delivering a uk wide labour victory, but the party must continue to work hard to regain voters trust. I am very clear that actually, scotland will lead the way in delivering uk wide labour government. And i think what you have seen happen in scotland over night is people move away and reject the politics of division, of chaos and incompetence and instead express a desire for a fresh start, express a desire for change. And they can now see that Scottish Labour is the vehicle for that change and that scotland will lead and that scotland will lead the way in delivering a uk wide labour government. A disappointing night for the snp. This is what humza yousaf had to say. A disappointing night. A tough night for the snp. Very difficult, of course. Theres a number of factors that played into that, we were told time and time again on the doorste ....
It down to where you could have a democratic speaker. unlikely to happen but that s the leverage they have over kevin mccarthy. members can change their vote before the gavel comes to a close. watch to see if democrats vote present just to play a little mischief here to move the final number. that s what makes this so fascinating and unpredictable. you can cast a vote one way and change it at the end so there be horse trading and mischief evening at the end. this is not just about kevin mccarthy. this is not just about the personality clashes. voting continues until somebody wins. candidates can emerge later. you can nominate somebody else on a second, third, fourth, fifth ballot. this is the important part. this is the united states government. the house of representatives is paralyzed. can do nothing until it elects a speaker of the house. what s the history? since 1789 all the way back to the beginning 14 times, 14 of 127 speaker elections have had two plus ballots, 14 of the 127 in ....
