WASHINGTON, Jan 6 — Republican Kevin McCarthy's perilous quest to become speaker of the US House of Representatives entered the fourth day today, with a scale of congressional dysfunction not seen since before the US Civil War.
This week's 11 failed votes marked the highest number of ballots for the speakership since 1859. But McCarthy rejected a suggestion it meant he would be a weak leader if he succeeded."Apparently, I like to make history," he joked. But the holdouts want a deal that would make it easier to oust the speaker and give them greater influence within the House Republican caucus and on congressional committees.
"I think that's coming together well," said Representative Patrick McHenry, a McCarthy supporter who is poised to lead a top congressional committee.
