Deadlocked US House adjourns without picking speaker

WASHINGTON – The US House of Representatives was in disarray Tuesday because it was pressured to adjourn after failing to elect Republican favourite Kevin McCarthy as speaker.

The California congressman wanted a easy 218 majority to be picked as the brand new head of the Republican-led decrease chamber, however he was stymied 3 times in a row by as many as 20 no-votes from his personal aspect. — Agence France-Presse
