Rep.-elect Kevin McCarthy appears to have lost the ninth round of voting for House speaker this week after failing to capture any of the 21 Republican holdouts.
During the first round Thursday, Rep.-elect Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., cast a surprise vote for former President Donald Trump after he previously voted for Donalds. Jessica Chasmar is a digital writer on the politics team for Fox News and Fox Business. Story tips can be sent to Jessica.Chasmar@fox.com.
