"House GOP Speaker Race: Embarrassment and Stalemate as World Watches"

TL;DR Summary
House Republicans are in disarray as they struggle to find a new speaker, with at least nine candidates vying for the position. The leadership crisis is embarrassing senior party leaders and threatens to damage the House GOP's chances of expanding its majority in 2024. The infighting has hindered the passage of critical bills and jeopardized US support for Israel and Ukraine. The absence of a speaker has also stalled efforts to address a spending showdown that could lead to a government shutdown. The chaos within the Republican Party reflects a rejection of compromise and threatens the functioning of American democracy.
