Four reasons the new Republican-controlled House is already in disarray Analysis from JimAntle:
Nevertheless, intraparty divisions are putting the new Republican House majority’s ability to elect a speaker in doubt.
A subset of conservatives hasn’t warmed to McCarthy in the years since, denying him the votes to become speaker on multiple ballots on Tuesday. Some want reforms to how the House does business, some want a different speaker, and still others just want someone in leadership to pay a price for Republicans underperforming in the midterm elections. It won’t be Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell , so McCarthy becomes the logical sacrifice bunt.
Sometimes, however, that meant legislation would end up passing with Democratic votes even when Republicans were in charge of the House. Other times, it led to resentment among a majority of Republicans who felt they were being run by a minority of the caucus.
