Breaking a 100-year streak, McCarthy couldn't secure the speakership in one vote, and he couldn't even do it in 11 votes.
And since no Republican will vote for Hakeem Jeffries, Juan Guaidó has unilaterally declared himself Speaker of the House of Representatives.

I see the GOP is still intent on dismantling the House of Representatives (to be fair it needs some changes) on its way to dismantiling government.
Starting to believe that they’ve twisted themselves (and us) into such an untanglable knot that no one is going to know what’s real and what’s not once this is over.
But then, I think that’s been the point of all of this. Easier, more profitable, and less messy than breaking windows and beating up police officers.

Forget who gets the Speaker, with the rules changes, the Republicans are effectively trying to change the nature of how the House works. I’m not entirely clear on how that will go, but they’ve got a long term agenda.

Why didn’t they just adjourn earlier? I fail to see the logic there.

Weird that they have a prayer before a high government function. I don’t care how normal it is.

I would love to see this in the U.S. House, with Democrats voting with moderate Republicans to pick a moderate R as speaker. Do you see that happening? #USHouse #SpeakerStandoff #McCarthy #HakeemJeffries -
Is it possible that #HakeemJeffries gets a few republican votes and becomes speaker? #SpeakerStandoff #speaker
