House Speaker election coverage: Chamber narrowly votes to adjourn for day
The House reconvened briefly Wednesday evening before voting to adjourn for the day rather than hold a seventh vote for Speaker.
Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Wednesday failed to secure the Speakership on the House’s sixth vote — and third of the day.
But signs began emerging of progress in GOP talks.
McCarthy, leaving a meeting later Wednesday said there was no deal but Republicans had “made a lot of progress.”
It’s been a century since the House required more than one vote to select a Speaker.
