Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy is just the latest lawmaker to announce his departure—and there’s reason to believe that more may follow.

Some Republicans had thought that they could hand the gavel to temporary fill-in Patrick McHenry. Looks like they'll need to think again.

Turns out there are consequences for not having any policy ideas or purpose.

The lawmakers opposing the would-be speaker’s bid can’t be called moderates, but they all share the belief that the government should actually function.

Having failed two votes for House speaker, the hard-right Republican is throwing his support behind a plan to give fill-in Speaker Patrick Henry more power.

The Republican nominee for speaker spent his day doing what his predecessor, Kevin McCarthy, did best—not getting enough votes to win the gavel.

After several weeks of extended chaos, it’s possible the lower chamber will be permanently changed by the GOP’s intraparty fracas.

Kevin McCarthy and his friends are mad that Democrats didn’t help him keep the House speaker’s gavel.

Joe Biden’s callout of junk-fee marketers is enormously popular—except among the House GOPers who insist that junk fees are imaginary.
