Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) finally got the speakership early Saturday morning, but not before a weeklong slog that saw flared tempers, animated huddles and, in the penultimate drama before his moment of victory, a near-brawl.
Inside the chamber, many reporters in the press gallery had risen from their seats once McCarthy walked down the center aisle to converse with Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-fl), the lone holdout he needed to obtain a majority, as McCarthy’s allies sat and crouched down to plead with the dissident. “On your knees,” one Democrat said loudly, as other lawmakers began to fix their gaze on what was unfolding.
Soon voices were raised. Gaetz pointed his finger at McCarthy, and McCarthy’s face was one of utter frustration. Rep. Mike Rogers (R-al) walked over and, in a moment that will forever live in the annals of House speaker votes, began to lunge at Gaetz before being restrained by Rep.

The nation’s hottest political TV drama came to an end early Saturday when California Republican Congressman Kevin McCarthy was finally elected Speaker of the House after a wild climax to the chaos that has unfolded on the floor of Congress during the past week.
McCarthy prevailed on the 15th election for the powerful post that steers the policy agenda and the rulebook for House of Representatives. The Capitol has been the site of extraordinary scenes of newly elected, far-right Representatives balking at McCarthy’s leadership as a protest against the Washington, D.C. status quo. The final tally for McCarthy was 216 votes, with another six defiant Republicans voting “present” for election.
The late-night session included scenes of GOP firebrands Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Matt Gaetz of Florida taking the spotlight in getting McCarthy over the last hurdle to grab the gavel. At one point, according to CNN,...

Update: Kevin McCarthy, in his first speech after being elected speaker, said, “I hope that one thing is clear after this week: I never give up.”
“My father always told me: It’s not how you start. It’s how you finish. We have got to finish strong for the American people.”
But he signaled that Republicans would conduct an extensive series of inquiries and investigations. “Let me be clear: We will use the power of the purse and the power of the subpoena to get the job done.” He promised probes of the “origins of Covid and the weaponization of the FBI.”
After his own swearing in, at 1:35 Am Et on Saturday, McCarthy gave the oath to all of the members of the 118th Congress.
Previously: Kevin McCarthy won the speakership on the 15th House ballot, ending weeklong drama, GOP discord that at times played out on the House floor.

A Db is found in the river and Jo (Sela Ward) believes the killing was about rage as she was beaten and shot in the heart, "an emotional statement." Hawkes (Hill Harper) finds no traces of peticule hemorrhaging and she was only in the water for a few hours. Chief Carver (John Larroquette) arrives on the scene stating he wasn't expecting this (a loaded comment.) Mac (Gary Sinise) says the killer left something behind, i.e. the bullet. Sid (Robert Joy) retrieves the bullet from the Db and Lindsay (Anna Belknap) matches it to the Chief's gun. Lindsay over the past seasons is always the one who matches forensics or evidence to items belonging to, or concerning the CSI team, or Flack (Eddie Cahill.) It was Danny's discarded cigarette in season 2's Run Silent, Run Deep, Flack was the one who was responsible for the drug raid in season 3's Consequences episode,...
