House Republicans adjourned without a speaker amid a stalemate with three Arizonans and other conservative hardliners.
House Republicans plowed through the second day of the new Congress, with no clear off-ramp from their political chaos over electing a new speaker. House Republicans adjourned for a second day without choosing a speaker in a historic stalemate with conservative hardliners that includes three Arizona members.
House Republicans narrowly voted to adjourn Wednesday and reportedly did so without the support of Arizona Republican Reps. Andy Biggs and Eli Crane in a move that suggests they remained unwilling to allow negotiations to continue. Biggs, the former head of the far-right House Freedom Caucus, was the first Republican to challenge McCarthy’s bid. Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., formally nominated Biggs. Crane, a freshman, was among about 20 House Republicans who consistently sided with someone other than McCarthy.On Tuesday, Biggs was the first alternative for GOP members. Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, also pulled in support, and by the second vote was the sole alternative. On Wednesday, Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla.
The stalemate in choosing a House speaker is the first in 100 years and will only deepen wariness about a new era of divided government in Washington. “You are compromised, and you are weakened,” Biggs said. “Our conference is full of people who could adequately do this,” he said. “If we do not change the course now judge, I fear this will actually further entrench the D.C. cartel, the uni-party, as you call it.”
