The election of the chairman of the DPR was dragged through the third day because of the leader of the Republic of Rep.
Kevin McCarthy had failed to secure a majority of more than five ballots, surpassing the most ballots in the election of chairman since before the Civil War.
The DPR was postponed shortly after 8 pm. ET until Friday afternoon.
A prolonged fight makes this the longest battle for the speaker hammer since 1860, which requires 44 ballots to determine the winner. The standoff is unlikely to end because Republican rebels remain united in voting against it, although some have begun to support Rep.
Kevin Hern, who has chosen McCarthy. Rep. Matt Gaetz, one of the most famous in the group, chose former President Donald Trump in the two votes that day, and then in the fifth vote, Gaetz nominated him.
McCarthy made two key concessions for 21 conservative disagreements on Wednesday, but none of them supported him in four rounds of voting that lasted for more than eight hours on Thursday.
With 433 members voting, a majority of 217 votes are needed to secure the speaker’s hammer, which means McCarthy can only afford a handful of defections in the thin majority of the GOP DPR.
The impasse that continues to leave the DPR effectively in limbo, because MPs must first elect a speaker before turning to other matters in the new Congress.
Conservative critic McCarthy said he could not be trusted to lead the House GOP, and most had given their support behind Rep. Byron Donalds from Florida, although he lost some votes from Hern on Thursday.
Democrats, meanwhile, remain united behind the New York Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, leader of the first black party in one of the chambers of Congress. Jeffries and his lieutenants said Democrats were “united and committed to staying in Washington as long as needed to organize Congress.”
