US: Vote For House Speaker Closes With No Winner

The voting process for Speaker of the House of Representatives has ended, with no one candidate getting the necessary 218 votes to win outright.

Eko Hot Blog reports that the results are:

  • Kevin McCarthy (Republican) – 203 votes
  • Hakeem Jeffries (Democrat) – 212
  • Andy Biggs (Republican) – 10
  • Others – 9

With 19 Republicans voting for people other than McCarthy, the House will need to vote again until someone gets an outright majority of the 434 members who can vote.

There might be some political wrangling behind the scenes, so stick with us for analysis and updates as the evening wears on.
