Rep. AOC muses 'unprecedented' coalition government could break GOP stalemate
Progressive star Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez dangled the prospects of a"coalition government" breaking the GOP standstill in the House.
Ocasio-Cortez underscored that she is"not saying necessarily that our party is signaling an openness just yet" but contended that"this is very much an unprecedented time." McCarthy lost three rounds of floor votes Tuesday, with 202 Republicans in favor and a crew of 20 opposed on the third one, well below the 218-vote threshold needed to clinch the gavel. Neither side appears to be blinking as a bitter GOP civil war rages.
— The Recount January 3, 2023 Due to the GOP impasse, none of the newly elected members have been sworn in, and committee assignments have not become official. The House is poised to continue voting for speaker until someone clinches the gavel.
