YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe nation is in its 17th day without a speaker of the House, a chaotic logjam with impactful consequences.
For example, this unprecedented situation means the aid package President Joe Biden is requesting for wars in Israel and Ukraine can't advance through the House, and the lower chamber can't negotiate to avoid a shutdown before the Nov. 17 deadline.
A third speaker vote is expected at 10 a.m. Friday, but House Republicans are no closer to ending their gridlock and infighting.
The GOP is set to nominate Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, for the speakership again. Jordan faces intense opposition from at least 20 GOP lawmakers, and those holdouts have not indicated they will budge. Plus, Jordan has already lost two speaker votes.
