GM from Capitol Hill where it's potentially January 3 Part 2. @GOPLeader has arrived and was instantly swarmed by a sea of journalists.

House Republicans delivered two more stunning defeats to the Bakersfield Republican in the chamber’s fourth, fifth and sixth votes today.

Instead of gaining ground, #KevinMcCarthy fell further from his goal: His vote total declined with Donalds switching votes (to himself) and Rep. Victoria Spartz voting present.

The House is adjourning until 8p tonite, so we'll see if there'll be a 7th vote....

If you haven't followed @NolanDMcCaskill yet, please do for up-to-date coverage from the Hill on here and at @latimes. latimes.com/politics/story…

With the liveliest the chamber has been all week, the House voted to adjourn until Thurs, delaying a seventh vote and allowing McCarthy more time to negotiate an elusive compromise and put to an end what has been the longest delayed start of a new Congress in a century.

@latimes @latimesphotos @latimespolitics that's it for me tonight, but tune back in for 118th Congress Groundhog Day Part 3, AKA January 3, Part III. Tomorrow!
