House Republicans plan to open the second day of the new Congress much like the first — with leader Kevin McCarthy trying to become House speaker.
WASHINGTON — House Republicans plan to open the second day of the new Congress much like the first — with leader Kevin McCarthy trying to become House speaker despite losing in multiple rounds of voting that threw the new GOP majority into chaos.
Early Wednesday, Trump publicly urged Republicans to vote for McCarthy:"CLOSE THE DEAL, TAKE THE VICTORY," he wrote on his social media site. He added:"REPUBLICANS, DO NOT TURN A GREAT TRIUMPH INTO A GIANT & EMBARRASSING DEFEAT." People are also reading… President Joe Biden, departing the White House for a bipartisan event in Kentucky with Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell, said “the rest of the world is looking” at the chaotic scenes on the House floor.
