U.S. House of Representatives Minority Leader McCarthyWon the Republican House Speaker nomination (Visual China )

In this context, the position of House Speaker is attracting attention. " Washington Post " reported on the 16th that on the afternoon of the 15th local time, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy was nominated for the Speaker of the Republican Caucasus with 188 votes, far exceeding the simple majority required to win. However, there are still 31 members of Congress who did not vote for McCarthy, which poses a huge obstacle to his House Speaker's election in January next year. At the 118th Congress, McCarthy needed to get 218 votes to win the post of Speaker.

McCarthy lost votes to Rep. Andy Biggs, the House Liberal Representatives Group, which is an extremely conservative American. Rep. Matt Gats said he did not believe McCarthy would become the speaker and said he would not vote for McCarthy in January next year. Rep. Bob Goode said that 188 votes are still far from 218 votes. The Washington Post analyzed that McCarthy's votes were lower than the 203 votes Pelosi received during the first vote in 2018. To win the Speaker's seat, McCarthy may be forced to make concessions to some of the most conservative Republicans in the House. With fewer majority supporters, moderate Republicans may also take the opportunity to make demands from him.
