The vote to oust former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has brought the lower chamber grinding to a halt, leaving lawmakers unable to conduct any legislative business while also shining a light on GOP infighting as they scramble to elect a new leader just 10 months into their newly secured majority.
McCarthy’s removal has left a rift in the House GOP, prompting concerns the divide could have an effect on the 2024 elections when Republicans seek to defend their five-seat majority. Getting those must-pass spending bills through Congress to avert a shutdown could be crucial to their chances of holding the House, according to some strategists.
