House Republicans Stuck in Speaker Stalemate as Crises Loom at Home and Abroad

House Republicans remain divided and unable to elect a new Speaker despite crises at home and abroad.

With the government shutdown looming and conflicts overseas, lawmakers warn the House infighting sends "a terrible signal" to allies and enemies.

Hardliners refuse to compromise on a nominee, nursing grievances over the ouster of McCarthy and policy differences.

The stalemate leaves the House paralyzed and unable to address pressing issues like aid to Ukraine and Israel.

Republican lawmakers dismiss concerns about governing, but Democrats warn the dysfunction leaves the nation vulnerable.
