In a standstill of US governance not seen since the time before the Civil War, Kevin McCarthy, the Republican leader of the House of Representatives, has failed in his most recent attempt to be elected speaker.
On the third day of voting, a group of right-wing members in his party thwarted an eleventh attempt to elect him. The standoff has prevented the House from swearing in new members or passing legislation since the Republicans took control of the chamber in the midterm elections in November.
