January 4, 2023 GOP deadlocked over House speaker vote
A stalemate over electing a House speaker continues.
www.cnn.com
It would seem as if the far-right contingent of the GOP could be setting themselves up for situation that could backfire.
By not voting for Kevin and dragging the process out, the longer it goes, the greater the chances that Democrats form an "alliance" of sorts with moderate republicans to get a moderate GOP member the gavel by agreeing to give them the votes.
If the GOP is holding out for someone further right of McCarthy to get the spot, there's a good chance they could shoot themselves in the foot and end up with someone further left. (or someone who's not even a member of the house of representatives)
