House in Chaos as GOP Fails to Elect Speaker, Members Play for Cameras While Crises Loom

Republicans have failed repeatedly to elect a new House speaker after ejecting Kevin McCarthy. The House remains at a standstill.

Some GOP reps like Mace, Hageman, and Mast are playing dress-up and putting on performances for the cameras during the chaos.

Santos is drawing attention to himself with tantrums and conflicts despite his criminal indictment.

The House can't function to address urgent crises like aid for Israel and Ukraine without a speaker.

One GOP member called the dress-up antics "ridiculous" given the need to swiftly unite around a speaker amid global crises.
