House Republicans failed to elect a new speaker on the first ballot, forcing the chamber to hold multiple votes for the first time in over a century. All after a small number of right-wing Republicans said they would not support top Republican Kevin McCarthy. NBC News’ Garrett Haake brings us the latest on the votes.

OH SO TRUE,YOU REPUBLICANS ARE GOING DOWN.
Looking and looking the news to find out where to invest next time !!!! Is there someone can give me some contact whit 🛸 👽 tourist industry !!!!! I think 🤔 will soon be a rush for visiting our intelligent planet 🌏 ty
What did Kevin McCarthy say. he will always fight for the American people. man alive that’s a good con talk right there. Trump taught him well.
lol Dan Crenshaw thinking Dems bribed the republicans to turn on each other. No, they don’t need to do squat. The republican party has been taken over by biggots, racists, homophobes, nut jobs, and Qanon conspiracy theory whackowoos. It’s a big ol witches brewing pot with all the worse of humanity stirring itself and showing what you get when you elect these people. The Republican party is tearing itself to shreds. And the rest of us are sitting back eating popcorn and enjoying the show.
🤣😂🤣😂 Kevin McCarthy 😂🤣😂🤣
People in California, NEED to VOTE this Gavel “BOY”
OUT….
A house divided shall always fall
Any one who has anything to do with Trump… Gets destroyed! 😎
The party’s been split…. Mega just set the Republicans back 20 years…
And I bet they still don’t understand what’s happening…..
None of the politicians are good for the American people. There all swamp creatures. Dems and Republicans need to lose there jobs for the incompetent leadership. McCarthy is a swamp creature just like pelosi or Schumer or Lindsay Graham
Sure. Its the democrats fault. Idiots.
No issue nice to see them thinking about the future.
Incredible in a democratic set up. Yet significant day of uncertainty.
he is weak anyway
The Republicans are in a mist of a civil war amongst themselves. Trump did not drain the swamp. He created a deadlier swamp The Trump Cabal is trying to overthrow the government. It tried to bring an insurrection. Luckily it failed. Now, these homegrown terrorists are destroying the GOP. Turning it to their control. The Trump Cabal should be a concern for all Americans. They are trying to destroy our democracy!!
McCarthy has not been loyal to the American people! He’s been swishy washy….sometimes backing Trump and sometimes Not! He’s not a leader, he’s a follower and he follows the almighty dollars!!!
They can’t choose a speaker. How do they expect to GOVERN???
Yes, let’s blame the democrats. LOL. Politicians are always the same. Am no fan of democrats, but the Republicans are not saints either.
☝️👮♀️🌏🛸👎Impostor
McCarthy must go! 🐒👎
⚖ Justice will must triumph!
☝️👽🌏🛸Americans!
☝️🤓Vote for democrat.! Don’t vote for false “Republicans “!☠️🐉😈👹👎
McCarthy should make a deal with the Democrats, and no concessions to the Freedom Caucus.
6 moderate Republicans need to grow a spine and just vote for Jefferies
1:57 “We can only lose 4”. WE?? Has NBC officially taken over for Fox?
🙄
When is the Biden admin going to fix the border? How many drug overdoses and fentanyl deaths is the cost of doing business to get more future voters
Its like that Fast And Furious race track and they pulled up to the start line and slammed that gear in reverse and hit the gas. As the car was on fire they got out blaming everyone else.
Sounds about right..
No repugnantin speaker?…. Silence is Golden!
Haha so many silly people on here. Sure, this isn’t part of the Democratic process 😂 “rebel republicans” “small faction”.
Must b god s punishment fr bing criticize Nancy Pelosi too often n hurting her n family
I love how MSNBC says “not the results the Republicans wanted”. Yes, this is EXACTLY what Republicans want! We don’t want yet-another emasculated, rubber-stamp Paul Ryan! I believe that McCarthy will eventually get elected Speaker, but the message is loud-and-clear – “you aren’t ENTITLED to this spot”.
lol the GOP is such a joke. just got control of the House and they’re already embarrassing themselves😄
And this is why I’m no longer a republican. Well, this and about 10,000 other reasons but who’s counting. GOP BAFFONS
GOP is a constant joke. I love the infighting it’s gonna destroy that party
The GOP has become a never ending clown show.
Do it the old fashioned way.
Musical Chairs or a one night only, 50 participant battle royal. Both feet must touch the floor to be eliminated.
If this doesn’t show America how women and men who work hard have been treated
Hakeem Jeffries had the most votes, and will continue to get most votes, he should be speaker. Kevin McCarthy does not have the votes, no Republican has the votes to become speaker.
If this dissenting group(that wants a new Speaker of the House)really wants that in order to help the American People,then that is good. But,it does not seem that any political figure in this Country cares at all about Americans.
Y’all having trouble cause y’all lookin like a potbelly pig we should call the house HOUSE OF WILBERTS lmao 🤣
this is supposed to distract you from the grotesque omnibus bill that was just stuffed up everyone’s nose by these deep state-appointed marxists
Vote for Chip anybody……yall look bad. Get it done today.
Cowboys
Oh no. USA democracy failing. In 100 years, USA acted normal. Now they bickering like fools. 😂
Republican Party is divided into Conservative, MAGA and
White Christian Nationalist (White Supremacy).
They don’t care about American people but their own agenda and ambition.
maybe because you only have 100?
😂😂😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👏
Prime TV 📺🍿😎
Money is stupid
Look what’s happening here in Philippines and check those people in California to find out all evil things
Some People can’t figure out that the left/Marxist politicians have infiltrated the conservative and far right parties.
Pelosi should have been fired decades ago. Criminals
Everyone said all along that maga-nation would eventually devolve into infighting and cease to exist. But watching it happen in real time is still better than i could have expected. Listening to them talk about wanting trumpism without trump, while the other half still think Kari Lake won, is absolutely hilarious. Trump created a monster and nobody can control it anymore.
Surely the Dems can convince enough gullible Repubs to vote for Jeffries, thereby giving the Republican majority House a Democratic Speaker. Would that not be the ultimate irony.
Maybe the GOP can get former speaker Nancy Pelosi to wave her jazz hands over them…
If McCarthy put the American people first, he would step aside.
This is a opportunity for the Democrats to outflank McCarthy and the extreme right MAGA wing of the Republicans by cutting a deal with a moderate, sane, Republican to nominate and vote for them as Speaker. Since a Republican becoming Speaker is a given there would be little to lose with such a gambit and a lot to gain in terms of cooperation in the new Congress. The only hurdle would be finding a moderate Republican willing to go along with the idea.
Hay Kevin..! The Republicans are not looking for someone better…. They just don’t want you…! 😊
McCarthy is like a rooster who runs around screaming “….a-doodle-do”. He’s got no….
Even GQP can’t stand GQP, though this all could very well be Hillary’s doing, or Hunter Biden’s!
This shows Republicans aren’t mindless zombies told to follow the pack instead of think for themselves. The speaker is important because if you don’t put the bill up to a vote it don’t matter how good it is or how many people want it. The democrats show this all the time.
Somebody needs to put a clown face on the Republican Party. 🤡
Who the loser now?
Hehehehe. Jeffries only needs 6 moderate Republicans to vote for him.
They only have two years to figure it out, of course that will cut into some of the idiotic committees they want to form.
Wonder what upset Republicans the most? The fact that a House Speaker was not elected for the first time in 100 years or the fact that a Black woman announced the results to the chamber?
None of it upsets me at all
tRumpies endorsement strikes again!
Some Republicans have sold out
The Muslim world blew the whistle first, then the 190 nations on this planet joined them and said this ! America is the most corrupt nation on earth, and it is supervised by England. So it is called ” Gain of Function ” Huh ? But what happened to Epstein ? Where is the client list ? C,mon man !! Quote the most stupid President of the USA.
You need to understand that the equality act population is at war with this country. They’re encrypting our devices and even terrorizing us by interfering with our doctor’s appointments through socialized medicine. They will go down and they will go down quickly. They won’t even be allowed to take up residencies in Croatia.
Let’s hope the next speaker isn’t a corrupt career politician using their position to gain influence in the stock market.
If there is absolutely any confusion by what we mean when we say they will go down and go down quickly, what it means is that the terrorists within the equality act population will be executed legally and constitutionally for treason. That’s the law.
When the State comes down on you like a hammer, that’s not us, that’s the law.
GOP has become a joke! Highest-paid Government in the world and this is what We The People get for our money! PLEASE voters pay attention to what’s happening.
NO MATTER THE OUTCOME!= They don’t use their brains!! Same with The Democrats! If one did use their brain= They would rule the World,probably???? Which would be easy to obtain because they would be coping his or her ideas/methods. So they would technically rule without ownership. But they would definitely be liked apon. But I will give some credit to The Democrats past. They have done a lot more good things for The U.S. than the Republicans.
I WANT BRIAN WILLIAMS BACK!
We need a real republican not a RINO
Biden can fix this!
Biden needs to give AG Garland a good shake and encourage him to look carefully at the members of the so-called ‘freedom (treason) caucus’, and fast-track the numerous slam-dunk actions that will eliminate those who are manifestly guilty under the law. Start with George Santos and 4 festering GOP cankers identified by the Jan 6th committee. Get them indicted, charged, convicted, and removed from society. If their constituents (most of whom are undoubtedly treasonous pro-Confederate scum who want the US government toppled at any cost, then LET them stand behind their choice, but hopefully, even in these CSA-districts there are still enough AMERICANS to rally their efforts and send normal candidates to replace them. If Garland isn’t up to the task, then it’s high time for Biden to stop playing his ‘political neutrality’ card, and install someone who WILL. Maybe Jack Smith can manage to get the job done while still taking care of the former P(os)OTUS!
Maybe a candidate for speaker who more closely reflects the values and demeanor of the RNC?

The Democrats should just side with a moderate republican
Yes Washington is broken…..in the house. Senate and WH are ready for business. Democrats paid people off? What a MAGA deflection to a party that can’t just lose and work for the country.
News media just stop counting the times McCarthy lost and headlines just “McCarthy lost again”.
$##$$#$#$##$$#************Flatline
The straight up lies coming out of politicians mouth makes me sick
You most answer for some people go to Daid dock you all boxer
Blame it on the Russians 🤣
Great news ! Awesome Awesome
Every politician says their work is for ” the American people”, when, in fact, it is for their personal ambition.
Speaker..Huuummm….Lets see….How about …….GOWDY …Not Ice T, Not Ice Cube or a flavor…But Ice Cold Trey Gowdy….
Step aside KM !
Shame on you KM, you voted to impeach Trump. So No to you!
maybe 110 Democrats and 115 Republicans could elect McCarthy as Speaker
“Everything Trump Touches Dies“ – Rick Wilson, GOP Strategist, The Lincoln Project.
Another 100 years not to hear or see
McCarthy 🤡 name !
Why vote for Speaker ?
If you demand to remove at anytime ?
I’m fine with this. A congress that can’t do anything is a congress that can’t do any damage.
Nobody wants Kevin pelosi
This is actually encouraging
how so?
Matt gates for special counsel to investigate the bidens.who agrees
Kevin McCarthy provided testimony to DOJ – that’s it, the treasonous Republicans no longer want him.
A Democratic Speaker for the House makes much more sense. 🙂
We don’t want him!
Rebel republicans. . . . . Wow.
night night rino’s
