House launches into 12th vote as McCarthy says more Republicans will vote for him today.
will try again Friday to muster a majority on the floor to win the race for speaker after falling short in 11 rounds of voting over three days this week. The speaker's election has not exceeded nine rounds since before the Civil War.
On Friday morning, just before a 10:15 a.m. GOP conference call to present the framework of a deal with some of the GOP holdouts opposing him, McCarthy told CBS News,"We're going to shock you." But after that conference call, two people on the call told CBS News no deal had been reached. Despite those compromises, none of the holdouts supported McCarthy in any of the four rounds of voting on Thursday.
"It's better that we go through this process right now so we can achieve the things we want to achieve for the American public," he said, adding,"It's not how you start; it's how you finish. And if we finish well, we'll be very successful."The continuing impasse leaves the House effectively in limbo, since lawmakers must first elect a speaker before moving on to other business in the new Congress.
