New Congress will be sworn in today as Johnson faces House speaker vote

^{Published on 2025-01-03 09:20:37 - CNN}

The 119th Congress will be sworn in Friday with Republicans officially becoming the majority in both chambers as House Speaker Mike Johnson faces a vote to retain the speakership. Follow here for the latest live news updates.

The article from CNN, published on January 3, 2025, details the ongoing process of electing the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. It highlights the internal divisions within the Republican Party, which has failed to coalesce around a single candidate, leading to multiple rounds of voting without a clear winner. Key points include the struggle of Rep. Kevin McCarthy to secure the necessary votes, with opposition from a faction of hardline conservatives. The article also mentions the implications of this deadlock, such as the inability to swear in new members or conduct other House business, effectively stalling legislative activities. There are mentions of potential alternative candidates and negotiations behind the scenes, but no resolution has been reached, leaving the House in a state of paralysis as the voting continues.
