4:19:28Now PlayingThe House has adjourned until 10 p.m. Friday, after Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), for the first time in days, picked up new GOP votes in his quest to become Speaker.
McCarthy gained the votes of 14 Republicans who had been casting ballots for other candidates and one who had been voting “present.”
With six holdouts, however, he was unable to secure the gavel on the 13th vote.
McCarthy, his allies and detractors will now return to negotiations as he seeks to close an increasingly narrow gap before a 14th vote.
