Strike 3 For Mccarthy, But He's Not Out Yet

The House adjourned Tuesday without a speaker and the Republican 

leader's protests only escalated on the final vote. The House 

adjourned without a speaker for the first time in a century after 

Kevin McCarthy failed a third straight vote for the gavel.

And in the final vote, the leader of the Republican Party saw his 

support begin to fade. Facing a threadbare majority, 

McCarthy has been unable to quell entrenched opposition on 

the right side of his convention, which is now openly pushing conservative 

hero Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) to take up the sledgehammer.
