McCarthy falls short in fourth round of voting as Republicans deadlocked over House speaker

Voting has just ended. McCarthy has lost his bid for House speaker, once again, though an official vote announcement is still needed.

 

With no majority earned on either side, a fifth round of voting may take place.

 

With dissent ripe on the Republican side, Hakeem Jeffries has secured all 212 votes from Democrats, versus McCarthy’s 201.

 

McCarthy lost a vote, with Spartz voting present during the fourth round.
