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!

GM from Lusaka! @VP Kamala Harris and the motorcade are en route to our first stop this morning: Panuka Farm, a Zambian owned, operated, and worked farm that is using climate-smart agriculture techniques and digital tools to increase the quantity + quality of their produce.
@VP @latimespolitics @latimes @latimesphotos @cmsub Seeing everyone lining the streets as the @VP Kamala Harris's motorcade passed made me think of the images Paul Fusco made of the RFK Funeral Train.
.@VP Kamala Harris toured Panuka Farm, looking at leuttuce, sweet peppers and greenhouses.

Looks like two gargoyles have been installed outside the Speaker’s Office where McCarthy has been holding court all week.
Vote 7 is underway….with 8 right around the corner.

GM from Capitol Hill where it’s going to be a busy day. As the 117th Congress comes to a close and the 118th kicks off. Will there a Speaker of the House elected today? We’ll see. Image
.@GOPLeader arrives for a GOP Caucus meeting, surrounded by reporters? “We are going to have a good day today.” says McCarthy. Image
McCarthy fell short of the necessary votes to succeed Pelosi as speaker in an initial roll call, becoming the first majority party leader in a century to fail to secure the speakership on the first ballot. Image
