• The Republicans took control of the House of Representatives by removing the metal detectors installed after the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
• Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) failed to win the House speakership on the first ballot, due to internal feuding among the Republican conference.
• Extremists tied to former President Trump and right-wing media are demanding outsize influence and power.
• Democrats united around Representative Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), while the Republicans are still deciding whether to accept the extremist Jim Jordan (R-OH) or work to find a compromise candidate.
• Former Republican governor of Ohio John Kasich has called on House Republicans to work with Democrats to pick a speaker and create a coalition government.
• George Santos (R-NY) was conspicuously excluded from the talking and visiting on the House floor today, despite his crucial vote for McCarthy.
