(Morning News) The Speaker of the House of Representatives was still difficult to give birth after six rounds of voting. The popular speaker candidate and Republican leader McCarthy could not be elected in the voting the next day because a small group of right -wing Republicans did not support it.
Comprehensive foreign news reports, former US President Trump Trump on Wednesday (January 4) called on Republicans to bridge the differences and support McCarthy as speaker.However, even if Trump came forward, McCarthy still failed to get enough votes in the last three rounds of the day.This further proves that Trump's control and influence on the Republican Party have declined.
According to the regulations, the candidate of the Speaker gets more than half of the members of the members, that is, 218 support votes, they can be elected as the Speaker.The Republican Party occupies 222 seats in the new House of Representatives, and McCarthy should have been able to pass easily.However, in the sixth round of voting, McCarthy had only 201 votes, and 20 Republicans voted to other Republican members and another Republican to refuse to support any candidate.
In the six rounds of voting, 212 Democratic members supported Jeffris, but Jeffris's votes were less than half.
The House of Representatives then voted to decide to take a break until 8 pm on Wednesday (Singapore on Thursday at 9 am), and at the same time closed the door to seek solutions.
This is the first time since a century since 1923 that the House of Representatives failed to choose the speaker in the first round of voting.If the first round of voting fails to generate a speaker, the members will vote until someone gets most votes.
