100 years ago, a candidate for the post of speaker in the US House of Representatives failed. Republican McCarthy is paraded.
Kevin McCarthy has to take the next low blow: The top candidate of the republican failed after six ballots in the vote for the chairman of the US House of Representatives. This was the result of the verbal vote late Wednesday evening in Washington. The result still has to be formally confirmed by the head of the session in the parliamentary chamber. McCarthy had not received the required number of votes in five previous elections because various party colleagues refused to support him.
McCarthy is considered Trump’s candidate for the third-highest US post
This time, too, the Republicans had Representative Byron Donalds as opposing candidates set up. The internal party opponent was able to unite 20 votes again in the oral vote. “This city is broken. And I want to fix it,” Republican Assemblyman Scott Perry said before the vote. You couldn’t do that if you just lined up and did what everyone else had done before you. Therefore, he nominates Donalds as an opposing candidate. McCarthy is considered Donald Trump’s candidate, but he is hated above all by the party’s political hardliners.
Republican Kat Cammack nominated McCarthy and appealed to her Political partyto finally stand behind the 57-year-old. The people in her constituency would tell her that it was time to get to work. Anything else is unacceptable. For McCarthy, the procedure is a historic defeat and a public embarrassment.
