Congress cannot choose the speaker of the House of Representatives for three consecutive days

On Thursday, after the third day of voting, the congressmen again could not elect the speaker of the House of Representatives of the US Congress. The leading candidate for speakers from the Republican Party Kevin McCarthy did not have enough votes to election for this post.

The reason for the first one hundred and fifty years of the case, when the party who won the election cannot choose a speaker after eleven rounds of votes, was the opposition to Kevin McCarthy 20 Congressmen-Republicans, requiring him in exchange for their votes of various concessions. For example, simplifying the procedure for the election and displacement of the speaker of the House of Representatives, the appointment of members of their group to key committees, and in the future vote to reduce government spending. McCarthy agreed with some of the requirements, but the minority is not inferior. He was completely dependent on twenty Republicans, since the Democrats who would be in the Congress of the new convocation, unanimously voted for their candidate Democrat Khakim Jeffris.

As the events will not be predicted to predict how to develop. The next round of votes will take place at noon on Friday. McCarthy and his supporters continue consultations with opponents who publicly continue to insist on their requirements. Meanwhile, according to press reports, passions in the premises of the congress are heated. Legislators often communicate with each other in increased colors. Due to the absence of the speaker, Congress cannot begin to work. Members of the House of Representatives are not officially oath. Many of them publicly complain about the irresponsibility of colleagues, who, in fact, created an unprecedented situation on the Capitol.

Prominent Republicans, including former President Donald Trump, expresses concern that this situation can cause serious political damage to the Republican Party, demonstrating its inability to manage. “Do not turn our big triumph into a gigantic humiliating defeat,” Trump turned to twenty congressmen. The largest danger for the party for 60 years was called the situation by the former speaker of the House of Republican Neti Gingrich.
