McCarthy Misses on Historic Vote for Speaker

The House of Representatives is set to be controlled by the Republican Party, but the leadership remains uncertain as Kevin McCarthy failed to secure the speakership in the first round of votes. The House must select a Speaker before proceeding with other business, and McCarthy faces opposition from within his party. The outcome of the voting process will influence the Republican Party's governance approach over the next two years, with significant legislative challenges ahead.
