Kevin McCarthy’s run as Speaker of the House was cut short. A look at what happens next, as well as what this means for Congress and funding the government.
House Republicans took the majority aspiring to operate as a team, and run government more like a business, but have drifted far from that goal., with lawmakers unable to coalesce around a new leader in a stalemate that threatens to keep Congress partly shuttered
But it's unclear if either Scalise or Jordan can amass the 217 votes eventually needed in a floor vote to overcome opposition from Democrats. A vote could come as soon as Wednesday. McCarthy himself appeared to agree with a consensus approach. “They shouldn’t come out of there until they decide that they have enough votes for whoever they bring to the floor,” McCarthy said.

David Valadao, a Republican who represents a California district not far from the former speaker's district.
