Washington: Kevin McCarthy, a Republican, won a majority of right-wing extremists who opposed his bid to lead the US House of Representatives on Friday, but was unable to win a 13th vote in four days.

The Chamber agreed to meet again at 10 p.m. ET said he thought the result was close (0300 GMT Saturday) after the California lawmaker announced. McCarthy insisted that at that point, the impasse within his party would be resolved.

McCarthy's supporters and some Democrats worried that the compromises he had made to win the position of House Speaker, such as agreeing to vote for any individual member to remove him at any time, would have led to the worst level of parliamentary dysfunction. can be prolonged. over 150 years.

McCarthy received endorsements from 15 of his former arch-rivals on Friday, but only 214 votes were cast in total, four votes short of the 218 that would be cast if all 434 current House members cast their votes.

It depends on the ever-changing math of where his six remaining arch-rivals stand and whether two McCarthy supporters who left Washington on Friday will return to determine the outcome.

McCarthy predicted that the team would win on Friday night: "It's going to happen." The Republicans' narrow 222-212 majority has given right-wing hardliners who resent McCarthy's leadership excessive power after a less-than-anticipated showing in the midterm elections in November.

He claims he is willing to make concessions to President Joe Biden and the Democrats, who also have a majority in the US Senate. Some claim they want a leader who is willing to shut down the government to reduce spending.

That raises the possibility that the two sides will be unable to agree when the federal government reaches its $31.4 trillion debt limit this year. A default in the event of a disagreement or prolonged standoff that could jolt the world economy.

Rep. Scott Perry, chairman of the hard-right House Freedom Caucus, claimed he changed his vote to support McCarthy after McCarthy agreed to significant changes to the way the House approves spending.

According to Perry, the way we are going to spend and distribute money is going to change historically. "When Democrats take over the White House and the Senate, we don't want the tidy debt limits to just pass and keep footing the bill without any countermeasures to control spending."

The debt ceiling must be increased to cover the cost of spending that Congress has already approved. An increase in the credit limit does not automatically sanction new expenditure.

Rules set by House Republicans would formalize the concessions given to hard-liners. These can block mandatory spending increases for Social Security and Medicare, ensure that lawmakers have 72 hours to review legislation before voting, and allow a legislator to force passage of legislation. Give

A resident of Hummelstown, Pennsylvania, applauded Perry's decision. "It's good for my business and good for the United States of America," said Randall Miller, 65, a men's clothing store owner. Miller voted for Perry but was disappointed in his opposition to McCarthy.

After some warnings that a prolonged impasse raised concerns about the party's ability to govern, the remaining holdouts came under increasing pressure to submit and allow Republicans to take control of the chamber.

Keith Self, a newly elected Texas Republican, changed his vote and declared, "It has become clear to me that some people are just going to be obstructionists."

It was unclear what McCarthy could have done to influence him, if anything.

Several Democrats in the House claimed to see a connection.

House Republicans are still under the control of the same extreme forces. According to a statement Friday by No. 2 House Democrat Katherine Clark, she has been unable to choose a leader because members of her convention spread misinformation and seek to undermine democracy.

The number of unsuccessful votes for speaker this week—13—was the highest since 1859. McCarthy's 2015 bid to become speaker failed in the face of right-wing opposition. John Boehner and Paul Ryan, the two previous Republican speakers, resigned from their positions after disagreements with right-wing colleagues.

McCarthy would have the power to block Biden's legislative agenda, force votes for Republican priorities on the economy, energy, and immigration, and advance investigations into Biden, his administration, and his family if he held the speaker's gavel.

According to lawmakers, McCarthy has also offered the group members powerful committee positions as well as spending restrictions that are intended to balance the budget in ten years.

The deal would limit spending for the upcoming fiscal year to levels from the prior year, which would represent a significant reduction in spending when inflation and population growth are taken into account.

That may encounter opposition from more moderate Republicans or those who have pushed for increased military spending, especially given that the US is currently spending money to assist Ukraine in fending off an invasion.
