Republicans find themselves in serious stalemate after eleven unsuccessful votes in three days
to choose a Speaker of the U.S. House, frustrated Fox News host Sean Hannity brought Colorado conspiracy theorist and representative-elect Lauren Boebert onto his show.
Indeed, before the House adjourned just after 8 p.m. Thursday, the third day of voting brought not a single new vote to Mr. McCarthy, who remains well over a dozen shy of what is needed. It had score-keeping, with the failed 11th vote bringing the current impasse into a tie as the fifth-longest attempt in U.S. history to secure a Speaker.
It had family crises, with one Republican representative unable to meet a new child as voting continued and another worried about missing his mother’s funeral if the impasse is not resolved. A third had to leave for medical reasons. That included an animated encounter between Mr. McCarthy and Andy Ogles, a Tennessee Republican who has been one of the holdouts. Their words weren’t audible, but their body language told the story of the day, with Mr. Ogles seated as Mr. McCarthy stood, leaning in and slapping the holdout on the lapel in an apparent attempt to persuade him to revise his position.
