WASHINGTON—The House of Representatives adjourned Tuesday without a new speaker after GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy lost three straight ballots in the face of hardline opposition, the first time in a century the usually pro-forma process has taken more than one vote.

The last time the vote for a new speaker went past the first ballot was 100 years ago, in 1923. The loss underscores how Republican infighting between moderates and hardliners will complicate the GOP's majority in the House of Representatives.

......

Here’s what could happen next: 

- Members will continue to vote— again and again. The House has adjourned for now, but will be back tomorrow. The vote could last for days, weeks or months until a speaker candidate receives enough votes. This leaves the House paralyzed with no member sworn in, no rules adopted and no legislative business conducted. 

- McCarthy could drop out of the race for speaker, leaving an opening for another Republican to win the speakership. As of Tuesday afternoon, no McCarthy challengers have come close to gaining enough votes to win the speakership.

- As a last resort, lawmakers could adopt a resolution that would elect a speaker by a plurality or by rank-choice voting instead of a simple majority.

A country with high income gap diverse problems affecting each population segment differently will lead to representatives with multiple distinct views.

The problem is not with democracy because the alternative would be to force everyone despite the differences to support the status quo....that has always led to hunan disaster of revolution or cruel suppression.

The underlying problems is both economic and social ....the only way out is to find solutions and spread it.

McCarthy delivers first speech, speaks on China

In his first speech, the newly elected United States House of Representatives Speaker Kelvin McCarthy says the U.S. House will address “the rise of the Chinese communist party”.

McCarthy, throughout his speech, referred to China as the “Chinese Community Party.”

According to him, the new House of Representatives’ ambition is for the US to win the economic competition against China.


“We’ll also address America’s long-term challenges, the debt and the rise of the Chinese communist party.

“As for the Chinese communist party, we will create a bipartisan select committee on China to investigate how to bring back the hundreds of thousands of jobs that went to China, and then we will win this economic competition,” McCarthy said.

He, therefore, told his colleagues that his emergence and the commencement of the 118th Congress marked the beginning of hard work.

“What we do here today, next week, next month, next year, will set the tone for everything that follows,” he added.
