Members of the U.S. House of Representatives<\/strong> failed an 11th time to elect a House Speaker on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The House GOP failed to come to a consensus in three rounds of voting on Thursday to elect California Republican Kevin McCarthy<\/strong> as the Speaker.<\/p>\n

This has been the longest contest for speaker in 164 years.<\/p>\n

McCarthy told reporters that while there has been progress in negotiations, there was no timeline on when he could get to 218 votes.<\/p>\n

His bid for speaker has been stymied by about 20 fellow Republicans.<\/p>\n

New York Democrat Hakeem Jeffries<\/strong> continues to have the unanimous support of his caucus.<\/p>\n
