For the second straight day, the House of Representatives has so far failed to elect a speaker after six floor votes. The rupture inside the Republican Caucus appears to be worsening for House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy as patience among some of his supporters is waning.

#NBCNews #KevinMcCarthy #Speaker
Best 2 out of 3. Come on, let’s go.
No more counts. How long do U expect to keep doing this? He’s won 4 times. Enough with the BS.
MOVE ON!
I’m waiting for George Santos to announce that his legal name is Nathaniel Prentice Banks and he wants to be Speaker.
GOP might vote him in…. he’s good enough for them.
I guess it is shocking when elected officials break party lines and disagree with one another? Isn’t that called democracy?
As a 50 year long Republican voter….I have to say…WHAT BUNCH OF DUMBASSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There’s nobody home? What if I was gonna buy them lunch or something?
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahah etc. 😘
#MakeSantosSpeaker 🤖
The lights go on at the end of the month. Impeach Impeach.
Its actually a little encouraging to see some republicans trying to not just give up completely by refusing McCarthy. Rather than happy over the state of the republican party on display here, which does amuse me, at least not all of the Repubs are not just rolling over and saying “fine, whatever” like with the orange guy.
Trumpers fitting trumpers, it’s priceless.

How sad to see a once great party reduced to this!
They don’t share a brain democrats confused.
…Clueless rinos are working so hard to destroy our once great Country…
Who has the series House of Cards in the back of their mind?😏
McCarthy wants to be Speaker of the House so he can be Speaker of the House. Smh. Jeez.
Shut up chuck
Kevin is such a glutton for humiliation that he’s willing to be rejected by the same people six times. For Kevin, no doesn’t mean no.
Jim Jordan is definitely would be the best speaker of the house!
Bots gone silent. Must not be going well.
I find it very hypocritical that you Dems never had a problem when the government funding bill was delayed by 14 weeks by the Dems. Then put out late at night and wouldn’t let anyone vote on it. But when the gop delays 2 days…..here comes the insults
Ay. We just need 11 more Republicans to vote present. C’mon! Do it!
Looking at this everyone should agree that ONLY having a term limit or people who come and go will change anything….
What Biden or Pelosi achieved for 50 years …… !!! being in politics?
You reap what you sowed.
Definition=.Empty vessels make the most noise. = jim jordom ,roberts, and mtg
Republicans are in indeed bunch of clowns and brought the whole circus with them.
Right away it’s the president’s fault now
The Bird man is calling McCarthy
“On track to lose”? This is hilarious! But yes, kevin is not qualified to take a leadership because her is selfish, he has no experience of having worked on any committee works, among others, he has no competency to unite and take a lead of any team or group of people.
Keep it goin repubs I am enjoying the show as a very proud DEMOCRAT!!!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Boy they must really hate Kevin!!!
So glad they r not listening to don the con either that makes me very happy so long u republican fools😛😛😛😛🤣🤣🤣🤣
Will this be a stolen election too?
Let the Supreme Court decide!
HERE WE GO MAGA MAGOTS ARE TRYING
McM should have stood up for America and the Jan 6th Committee instead of Trump, The GOP party had 137 politicians who refuse to back the Constitution and our democracy are used to be a respectable Party it’s been a long time
McCarthy is a uni party looser .
😂
Terrible how divided they’re
How they’re going to work like that 🤔
trump’s master plan? sometimes you feel like a nut case sometimes you don’t
Weak Republicans.
He do not deserve to be speaker. He made fun of Nancy pepolise husband after he was attacked by an insurrectionist that he supported. And the ignorance of the Republicans who are supporting this man is as worse. They are more concerned about a party instead of what is right for democracy. I hope Steve salice doesn’t get it either. He’s worse too.
I don’t care how long it takes as long as we do not continue the careers of the same limp RINO crowd that talk tough and fold like lawn chairs when the Dems growl at them. I need fanatics willing to destroy and rebuild stronger.
Trump is behind this
McCarthy: The votes are rigged and I will NOT give up until I win.”🤣🤣🤣
Chuck Todd is the leader of the fake news. I wouldn’t believe a word he says or anything from the fake news NBC.
Republican party don’t trust rino kevin Mc Cathy .
Any one from California should be disqualified
Cheating democrats who believed everything they said lied and traitors
They just dont wanna work lol.
The trumplodytes have embraced their inner trump. They have OUTGROWN their Orange Guru!
Kevin McCarthy can not be TRUSTED
You Mccarthy careful your Trump illegal Bush moap Jan 6 dead people in site the capital big big criminal Trump. Don’t care law Sunday10 commitment God law all lier moap
Kevin just go home it’s obvious we don’t want you we’re putting pressure on our representatives not to vote for you you’re not gonna get it quit embarrassing yourself and graciously leave.
T*RUMP GOPs is our real PANDEMIC although it affects the “DECENT&MAGA” GOPs to a different extent. To follow along the same analogy of a Pandemic, the MAGA has developed ‘CROWD IMMUNITY” while decent republicans are trying to find the right ANTIDOTE for the T**RUMP VIRUS 2016-2020🤣🤣
There are NOT two parties … there are THREE parties: Democrats, Republicans and MAGA Conservatives. That makes the Democrats the majority Party. During the 2024 elections Democrats will be reminding American Voters of the Republican Clown show is too impotent to govern.
The republican that r not for McCarthy r traitors they r wa
Typical far-right CONs taking days or weeks to decide who won- POTUS, Congress, Gov or Speaker. Plurality when Kevin has 10 more or next week.
Trump lovers are crippling our Congess. McCarthy is a embarrasment, but the Trumo-nazis are worse.
Watch the video news Kevin McCarthy none stop consecutively 2 days 6 times required vote for Kevin McCarthy as House speaker rather than the voters have rights to picks capable speaker, president Biden say that’s not Americans ways, the public opinion reflects that’s overbearing loser Republican Party no rights forced Representatives vote for Kevin McCarthy, the civil elects representative they represent people voices, Republican Party can’t be abuse them,
This terrible show the GOP is putting on for the entire world to witness is embarrassing. They don’t believe in science so you wouldn’t expect Republicans to have heard about Einsteins theory of insanity : “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” The GOP is making Albert Einstein look like a genius! LOL!!
See ya next week..same bat time, same bat channel…get the popcorn out..
If your WOKE your a JOKE
Jim Jordan is perfect for the job, but he does not want to be the speaker and Donalds is the best for sure. Go McCarthy, you are a rino and do not need another Pelosi screwing us around again
Agree, Jim Jordan, Jim Jordan, Jim Jordan.
Stop this now. How many chances does he deserve? Change the rule. Jeffries has won. This is ridiculous. Another trump. Yes, 6 more months do matter. End this farce now. Withdraw McCarthy.
McCarthy is a weak leader who is supported by the lobbies and big corporations to do there will not develop the people thanks for the 20 great Americans who stand up for the great American people who love the flag
Bring in trump or trey gowdy…
God of vengeance is at work. The hen has come home to roost. They banded together to fight against God’s CHILD Obama. See what God is doing, at HIS own time. God says, vengeance is mine, my ways and times, are different from humans. LET GOD.

The modern QOP is not a viable political party anymore and should not be viewed as such. They are a group of ideological malcontents who are only united by their hatred of the political Left and their dedication to stopping the same. When as we see here they no longer have some issue to galvanize them = they become an orchestra of scorched cats.
They speak often about purportedly representing _”the American people”_ when in fact they only represent themselves and perhaps a tiny subset of the population who similarly can not adapt to the inevitable and inexorably changing nature of the country. “Things change” = and you either adapt and evolve – or you go extinct. 🤔
To bad Daddy Trump is not here for you
Kevin McCarthy nobody wants to hold
your hands anymore , blame yourself
for this fiasco in The Senate House🤔
No it’s not they are not gonna push anything just to get a vote 😂😂
no big deal government has work in 10 years. and use fault is that? it’s the ones that vote. term limits will fix that
Okay since the house can’t make a decision. Let the American people decide. Run a Special Election and let them choose the Speaker. THAT’S TRUE DEMOCRACY!!!
Demon Rats and McCarthy are all the same enemies of the people
GOP ARE WACKOS
“The lights are on and no one is home.” Republican politics as usual. 😖🙃
This is exactly what he gets… because he helped create the extreme right MAGA republicans in his party. The very people who are now voting against him. Maybe they need to call in Liz Chaney to be speaker.
Macarthy has no dignity!! How he can be respected if he’s trying to impose himself!! He doesn’t have what it takes to be any house speaker!!!
God bless km
Michael Moore said just a few repubs should change to dem and back Jeffries – that would be a curve ball – Jeffries would be Speaker.
Not being from the US, what happens if the sole Democrat wins? Will that help or hinder democracy? Jus’ curious. 🧐
Disgraceful! How can you gavel the Congress when you are powerless and unable to lead unify and lead republican caucus. McCarthy is not a leader, but wannabe.
WE, the American Taxpayers ,demand the publication of Hakeem Jeffries’ 6 year tax returns to be raked over for errors or omissions
Sure wish this channel covered the border catastrophe, Biden’s incompetence, the massive fentanyl crisis, inflation etc etc etc….with as much diligence it is covering this debacle. All M.S.M. has lost any semblance of honor!!!!! Shame on you for cowering.
The irony is rich–after all the boasting about what they were going to do once in power, they can’t even elect a speaker, which is task #1 coming out the gate. Calling each other the Taliban is just 🤣🤣😂🤣.
First of all he’s from Cali…. Wasn’t the last speaker form Cali
Hhhhmm definitely time for a change
I don’t buy it. I believe that this is just one more act in the long run up to fascism. McCarthy is about as sycophantic and radically far right as you can get. This is just an attempt to make him look more moderate to the masses. It should be headlined, The lights are on in the House, but the people still can’t see what’s really going on. The brainless GOP members like MTG, Boebert and the rest are just playing their roles to help the fascist movement.
NBC is fake news
The Democrats will vote for anybody that hates America that’s why the people the American people reject the Pagan left
if about 150 Republicans and 75 Democrats form free will sovereignty coalition, can vote for me to be Speaker of House
The Republicans are going to keep screwing around and the Democrats will win Speaker of the House.
Hey Chuck zip it… the GOP are not mindless robots like the Dems…who only follow orders from their NAZI leaders
Congress should allow members to carry guns into the Capitol. It should be mandatory. If they get attacked again, they can blow away the terrorists. Or the trumplettes can use their arms now to “elect” a Speaker of the House.
Will this be another Jan. 6 ?? Will Kevin get his 6 supporters to attack the capitol?
Tune in tomorrow folks
Same Bat time, Same Bat Channel.
Will there be a 3rd party in a near future?
We’re screwed. Repubs can’t elect a speaker and they have that fraud from NY. Good luck in July when the debt ceiling looms.
Republicans need to do what democrats do. Allow Congress to mail in votes . Kevin can get 700 votes and we’ll call it historical and fair.
Kevin m is a good man happy he got it now we need trump back
