The House of Representatives failed to elect the next speaker for the sixth time after a small group of right-wing Republicans blocked off GOP leader Kevin McCarthy from getting the votes he needed. NBC News’ Ryan Nobles shares more on what’s next for Congress.

#NBCNews #KevinMcCarthy #Speaker
Lestor Holt sounds and looks like a troll
Well we have a president that can’t function talk about embarrassing
you haven’t heard? Trump’s no longer President.
@JustineLaLoba can definitely tell where you vote I’m talking about your president Biden
Thank God for the holdouts
Good.. he’s a “yes” man. We want someone up there not afraid to go after the truth and hold people accountable. We finally have some power and we intend to use it. We will be putting someone in there who will get to the TRUTH.. and clean up our government and find fraud and conspiracy coming from the left.
Yay! Establishment getting beaten. So far… Notice how bad the Dems want McCarthy.
Elect clowns and you get a circus🎪🎪🎪
No Kevin McCarthy as a leader. It is time to get rid of Donald Trump and his affiliates at last.
Here’s a thought: Perhaps the Republicans and Democrats should come to a compromise deal and elect a speaker that both sides can agree on
In fact, there’s another word for such an act.
It’s called: Governing.
gaetz will fight till he wins
How many times are they going to tell him no no no
Courageous stand. We, the people, want MAGA leadership not Rhino phonies. McCarthy should withdraw gracefully and let the Republican party work this out. No one’s owes anyone a loyalty vote. MAGA!!!!
Uh, this is a rejection of magats you efffffing tool! What about that don’t you get? Honey – tin foil is not your friend! 🙃
Has back stabber Trump lost his power or is he saying one thing public and another to the rebels
This is beautiful AND hilarious 😂
MAGA strikes again? Just a popularity contest. Look at me! Look at me! Losers. 😂
I think it might be time for McCarthy to throw in the towel. These re-votes are wasting time.
Hey Dems “When your enemy’s making mistakes, don’t interrupt him” – Billy Bean, Moneyball
Republicans wanted a civil war. They got Trump’s GQP of insecure MAGA Y’all Qaeda terrorist Karens v antiquated, weak GOP.
Really we need to come together…ok freedom fighters talk out what needs to change and get it together! By the way Biden you’re an embarrassment!!!
6th time? Lmao
0 for 6…as much as it is enjoyable to watch McCarthy fail spectacularly and the GOP implode they need to elect a Speaker and get on with legislation to help Americans.
Republican must be slow learners.
I’m glad they are doing there Constitutional duty for there voters! Wish more would do the same.
He needs to step aside.
Lol. Both parties are in complete lunatic meltdown. We are truly doomed.
Doooooooomed.
Only one thing we can do as a population, put your head down and graze.
Strew the Republican party.
Steve would be great.
I assume………. at some point, Republicans will come together and nominate someone. Of course, if that does not happen it will just show that they are incapable of governing. Something I knew years ago.
“Taliban 20” As I recall, after much persistence, the Taliban won. 🤔😂😅
The country doesn’t want him Mr President.
It’s all because of trump
We don’t want, we don’t need and we don’t support McCarthyism 2.0
And the clown show continues… 😂
Down with the RINOS and the liberal democrat human cockroaches.
ha! No need to thank me for watching this crappy channel, I won’t watch again.
Taliban 20, Americas newest hero.
Republicans heroes …. like Vlad Putin, Kim Jong-un, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Ali Khamenei
You know what McCarthy’s going to do and you know he’s going to go after the truth of the six years of BS and he’s going to go after Hunter Biden and the reality of the Joe and the Democratic Party oh and you know we just have to have a black man in charge I’m 6’2 I’m 6’5 your height has nothing to do with what you’re going to do about going after the Democratic Party sounds like a gangster Thug next thing you going to do talk about your pectoral size
McConnel will Never be voted in again. He’s a Biden democrat. I like that Congress is finally having to show up and earn their paycheck!!!
Very good so nothing can be done if it last a year the US Congress should subsumed its function to US Senate
They better have someone else to choose from soon, or else this is going to seem like a hold out for selfish reasons and will backfire on those from being re elected next election. This power play and extortion, will be remembered by the people.
What does your height and weight have to do with politics 🤔 😄(typical dumb dumb). The real problem is the wasted 20 votes on dumb dumb by dumb dumbs, whom need to grow up and put those 20 votes on one of the two real viable candidates!!!
Lmfao 😂😂
The GOP always says that Government doesn’t work…
Then they get elected and prove it! 🤣😂
He must be related to the cheneys, refuse to take a hint. u are not wanted , bounce. And when u are that desperate to take this position, it means u are in it for the right reasons, u are in it for establishment agenda, so no more of that, this old train has to end and we need people who are there to actually serve the people. The days of these two parties pretending to be rivals is over, these 2 parties are in secret cahoots with each other and Trump came in and exposed the marriage between the two and thats why they desperately do not want anything Maga Republican in because that ends the secret club
Anyone that supports McCarthy is just another establishment puppet, just like McCarthy and the Democrats. All of them are useless.
Hold the line and push the corruption out kicking and screaming.
Expel all the members of the Freedumb Caucus ????
biden should just be quiet
GOP controls the house, but can’t control itself. Gimme gimme, I want personal power over the “deep state”, or I’ll throw a tantrum. Despite the fact that the grab for personal power IS the problem they call the “deep state”….
What a joke the GOP has become.
Lauren Blowbart is the GOP? Laughing at them every day. Meanwhile the real government is celebrating the infrastructure bill that will do what we do – make America great. The joke of the “freedom caucus” that refuses to accept good government embarrasses all the GOP who can actually think.
:04 “small”
That’s not small that’s tiny.
They are the needle in the shoe that’s pricking a toe of the Republican Party.
This is becoming a British parliament-style turmoil like Liz & Boris had step down as PM.
He has the Trump curse.
🤣😂
Trump’s puppet needs to move on
😂😂😂Looks like supporting 🍊🤡 stolen election LIE has caught up with ole Kev aye!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Clown show in full display to America!!!!!! Corrupt, Broken American politics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Death blow delivered to the 🍊🤡!
No more home alone for Kevin
You know it’s a phony process when they’re allowed to nominate him in perpetuity. It’s all 🐂💩 to make it look democratic.
Lauren Blowbart should be speaker? Meanwhile the infrastructure bill goes through, and the real government does what it has done for years – makes America great.
@Mr. Tom apparently Kevin Mcbuttface isn’t getting it so far so maybe Miss Buttburp should get the nomination? Why you crying anyways? They’ll keep nominating him in this sham until he’s finally elected.
Reporter: “Are you worried about retribution?”
Donalds: “Man, I’m 6′-2″, 275. I’m not worried about retribution.”
Why? Because of your physical stature? You gonna wrassle em, you boob?
Does McCarthy have a humiliation kink?
McCarthy = RINO …
McCarthy is not a rhino. A rhino is a powerful, fearless creature.
Kevin is more of a whimpy, declawed, toothless lapdog.
@Lewis Balentine haha I agree …
Can’t He Just Claim His Election Was Stolen ? 😏
Pls excuse my ignorance. I don’t know a lot about politics. Other than being 3rd in line of succession, which almost never happen, what is the big deal with Speaker of The House title? Does one get more authority over their own party?
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 the Republican Clown show is too impotent to govern.
What a dumpster fire.
McCarthyism 2.0
Well, America really needs to listen to the likes of Blowbart, because the investment in our infrastructure is just the last straw, despite the wealth it created.
Wake the duck up and reject these ignorant people America.
so can I apply for the house speaker position ???
Drop out McCarthy! The People don’t want you!
Kevin McCarthy the guy that ran to Trump after the Capital was attacked , a pupit and loser
If not Kevin McCarthy then who we’re a long ways from anyone else as far as the Republicans are concern
Gaetz for speaker until his arraignment
The Taliban 20? Lol
Mutual destruction of the corrupt and dangerous GOP…MAGA..KKK Power Base would allow USA to be something to be proud of 🤓🇺🇸
32nd time’s a charm, Kevin
I think Kari Lake is available. How about nominating her instead?
Remember Force the vote the true left wanted to do
Trump may be able to influence some politicians to be loyal to him but not to save someone.
Saving is not the strong point of Trump.
Destroying and pulling down things and people are what he is good at and putting himself in their places.
Even among politicians like Boebart and Gaetz Trump’s words are already ringing hollow.
Perhaps Trump will begin to realize he had been used as the unsuspecting head of a radical far right battering ram to be discarded after he has served his purpose.
Is he being discarded as we speak?
Please move your stuff out of speaker office 😂😂😂 you loser Kevin., go to Taiwan as speaker, No way !
I start to think republicans like to be the opposition party. They really hate governing 🤷♂️
J. Boehner decided to walk away from the job after dealing with his own rebels. Dennis Hastert found out to be a pedophile after he left. Newt Gingrich had to resign due to ethics violations. Tom DeLay, another gop rep in leadership was indicted for campaign violations. Jeez! The law and order party? Whaaat?
President Trump needs to ask McCarthy to step aside as there are Trump supporters of President Trump. Will see President Trump goes forward to the 2024 presidential election! As Republican fighting amongst themselves, Democrats might be doing something on the sly!🖕🤦🏼♀️
“I rise to nominate Liz Cheney for Speaker of the HOuse.”
YEAH!!!!
McCarthy’s kink is clearly masochism.
winning…
Hahaha
Trump needs to keep pretending that he wants Kevin McCarthy as Speaker. Kevin needs to withdraw and Byron Donalds needs to be nominated.
“(Disgraced TRE45QN TrumPutian) Kevin McCarthy’s Speaker bid blocked for sixth time” so let’s “Convince It Forward” and Laus DEO
Congress is a big globalist cult of traitors..none of this matters.
Remember they all agreed and sent 100+ billion dollars to Ukraine….mm
Notwithstanding his terrible Environmental record, It seems the Christians are revolting again but the white eraser cannot be stopped. Self righteous minority zealots wish to control the majority in the US. They need to get their heads out of the clouds and get down to business.
Mainline establishment Republicans are the ones who fanned the flames of extremism and partisanship. It serves them right that they’re now being devoured by the monsters they’ve created.
That’s what happens when you start to go the populist road. Sooner or later they will turn on each other.
He talk about bidsynce watch so etip don’t get tapper with under nsici
Remember… they thought there would be a red wave … they can’t even agree on a speaker 🤣
TREMENDO CONSUMO DE ADRENOCROMO SATANICO EN EUROPA.
Any true REPUBLICAN WILL NOT VOTE any trump endorsement!!! KEEP THE REPUBLICAN PARTY INTEGRITY ON POINT!!! I WILL VOTE REPUBLICAN AGAIN ONLY IF A TRUE REPUBLICAN GO FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL OFFICE trump will not get my vote again!!! Only Biden will!!! Officer Sicnic lost his life because of that insurrecton 1/6!!
My name Alice Riddle, that comment on McCarthy it was I that commented not Josephine.
The Republicans are having an internal civil war. The GOP vs. Trump Cabal!!
No congressman should get a paycheck until the house speaker issues are resolved!!
