After five days of a chaotic political stalemate, Republican Kevin McCarthy has been elected speaker of the US House of Representatives. McCarthy’s bid was blocked by hardline Republican party members who repeatedly voted against him. But after fifteen ballots he managed to capture the speaker’s gavel.

The United States House of Representatives has adjourned for a second day without a speaker, as Republican leader Kevin McCarthy continued to fall short of the majority he needs to preside over the chamber. In the sixth round of voting on Wednesday, far-right opposition to McCarthy persisted, setting up the prospect of a prolonged crisis in Congress as the House remains practically paralysed without a speaker. McCarthy needed 218 votes to claim the gavel.

Republicans take control of the United States House of Representatives on Tuesday. Still, their House leader, Kevin McCarthy, may fall short of securing a majority amid opposition from far-right members.
