Mr. Johnson faced no opposition from his own party, and won in a party-line vote. In previous rounds of voting, as many as 25 Republicans opposed their party’s nominee. Shortly after reconvening Wednesday night, the House voted to adjourn until noon Thursday — with still no speaker elected.

Here's what to know about Thursday's multiple votes for speaker

The Justice Department investigated the Florida lawmaker and decided not to bring charges. Hard-line Republicans joined with Democrats to remove the Bakersfield Republican from the speaker’s chair. Like most, the operative asked not to be quoted by name, to preserve his relationship with the ex-speaker. McCarthy declined to be interviewed, perhaps because of the ways — feckless, morally bankrupt — your friendly columnist has described him.

Where Michiganders supported abortion rights and a Republican for governor

After the House voted to adjourn for the night, Rep. Kevin McCarthy told reporters that while there has been progress in negotiations, there was no timeline on when he could get to 218 votes. The survey found that 52% of voters saw the impeachment inquiry as designed to damage Biden politically. Most Trump voters — 85% — said the investigation was more about finding the truth. Fifty-six percent of people who declined to back either presidential candidate in 2020 characterized the inquiry as more of a serious effort to investigate important problems. House Republicans have been calling for Biden’s impeachment since Trump left office in 2021. One day after the president’s inauguration, then-freshman Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) filed the first impeachment articles against Biden.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin says foreign aid bills will allow department "to surge lifesaving security assistance"

“He wants to hold to account those who pushed him out,” said a Central Valley political operative, who has a decades-long relationship with McCarthy. He’s traveling the country giving six-figure speeches, playing pundit and elder statesman on TV, holding forth at high-brow political forums and, not least, plotting vengeance against those behind his unceremonious ouster as House speaker. “I think this support will really strengthen the armed forces of Ukraine, and we will have a chance for victory,” Zelensky said through an interpreter. The House vote “will make the United States of America richer, further ruin Ukraine and result in the deaths of even more Ukrainians, the fault of the Kyiv regime,” Peskov said, according to official Russian media.

House approves Ukraine, Israel aid bills

An earlier version of this article incorrectly identified the political party of a group of representatives who notably voted “no” on new aid for Israel. Twenty-five Republicans voted against the fourth bill, which included measures that could lead to a ban on TikTok in the United States and that would redirect funds from seized Russian assets to help aid Ukraine. Democrats put up a big vote — 174 — in favor of this bill, which was intended to sweeten the overall package for conservatives. The plan, laid out in a rule that passed on Friday, was concocted to capitalize on the pools of support for each part of the $95 billion package, while preventing opposition to any one piece from taking down all of them.

The inquiry has yet to produce evidence that proves the GOP’s long-standing, unproven claim that Biden benefited from his son Hunter’s overseas business dealings. Won a closed-door vote, beating six others vying for the Republican nomination for speaker. He faced immediate backlash and withdrew his candidacy just hours later. McCarthy said no deal has been reached yet, but said progress is being made as talks are ongoing.

While most Republicans oppose quick dismissal, some have hinted they could vote with Democrats. You may occasionally receive promotional content from the Los Angeles Times. Nadya Okamoto, a content creator who has roughly 4 million followers on TikTok, said she has been having conversations with other creators who are experiencing “so much anger and anxiety” about the bill and how it’s going to affect their lives. The 26-year-old, whose company, August, sells menstrual products and is known for her advocacy around destigmatizing menstrual periods, makes most of her income from TikTok. Organizations such as the American Civil Liberties Union have backed the app.

Many of the states with a large share of outstanding votes conduct elections primarily or entirely by mail. In California, where several competitive House races are not yet called, about 80 percent of the expected vote has been tallied statewide. In 2020 it took the state 11 days to report 95 percent of its votes.

Bowing to GOP hard-liners’ threats to oust him as speaker, McCarthy orders an impeachment inquiry over Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings before his father was president. The expected vote is the total number of votes that are expected in a given race once all votes are counted. This number is an estimate and is based on several different factors, including information on the number of votes cast early as well as information provided to our vote reporters on Election Day from county election officials. He told reporters he did not want another vote Wednesday, saying lawmakers have not yet reached a deal.

After engaging in quiet talks with Johnson, the president quickly endorsed Johnson’s plan, paving the way for Democrats to give their rare support to clear the procedural hurdles needed for a final vote. Still, Congress has seen a stream of world leaders visit in recent months, from Zelenskyto Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, all but pleading with lawmakers to approve the aid. Globally, the delay left many questioning America’s commitment to its allies.

The opposition to the Israel aid represented a minority of Democrats, but reflected the deep resistance to unconditional aid and the divisions in the party on Gaza. Representative Jamie Raskin of Maryland represented a notable new “no” vote among Democrats, and other standouts included Representatives Donald S. Beyer Jr. of Virginia, Earl Blumenauer of Oregon and John Garamendi of California. US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Saturday celebrated the House's passage of a $95 billion foreign aid package for Ukraine, Israel and the Indo-Pacific. Senators could try to strip out the TikTok legislation, but policy analysts view it as unlikely, as quickly approving the foreign aid is a top congressional priority.

The results of some House races remain unknown as ballots continue to be tallied. With a handful of conservatives rebelling against the stopgap funding bill, it means Johnson, R-La., must receive help from Democrats to get it through the chamber. The Freedom Caucus had initially pushed for the two-tiered “laddered CR” approach but opposes Johnson’s bill because it lacks spending cuts and conservative policy riders. The conservative House Freedom Caucus officially announced its opposition to Johnson's CR plan this morning. Johnson ignored a question as he was walking out about whether he was committed to passing a supplemental aid bill for Israel and Ukraine before the next CR passes in early 2024.

“After 11 months nobody can tell you what Joe Biden’s alleged crime is, where it happened, what the motive was or who the victims are,” the Maryland Democrat said at a news conference before the vote. Won a closed-door vote to become the Republican nominee for speaker, but withdrew his candidacy after failing to win over holdouts before a floor vote. Representative Mike Johnson of Louisiana was elected House speaker after a single ballot on Wednesday afternoon.
