Instead, they are bringing the CR to the floor “under suspension of the rules.” This means it will need the support of two-thirds of the chamber to pass. The bill now heads to the Senate, which is expected to send it to President Joe Biden’s desk by Friday night to avert a shutdown. “If we had the vote today in our conference, he would not be speaker today. He's already a lame duck, he can't raise money, everyone knows it,” Greene claimed.

In Georgia, a tale of two races

"He’s just a bully with $17 million and a security detail," Burchett said. Burchett had stopped to answer a question from reporters when McCarthy walked by with his detail and appeared to bump into Burchett’s back. At first, Burchett apologized, thinking he had been in someone’s way. "Here’s what I’ve said about Speaker Johnson. He did not set the table. He did not cause the situation that has come to pass," Rep. Dan Bishop, R-N.C., said. "We’re going to have to get through it. But we need something better than this." Several conservative House Republicans who oppose the CR criticized the bill for not having any spending cuts, but most of them avoided putting the blame on Johnson himself.

More Republicans — 93 — voted against this CR than opposed the last clean funding bill in September. Johnson said he was “pleased with the outcome” after his two-step continuing resolution passed the House. Massie, a Kentucky Republican, added that they are giving Johnson the chance to resign, although the speaker has insisted he won’t.

Eight Republican lawmakers joined 208 Democrats in toppling the former Bakersfield congressman, the first time in history a House leader has been voted out. The House has pushed a $95-billion national security aid package for Ukraine, Israel and other U.S. allies closer to passage. President Volodymyr Zelensky issued a statement of appreciation moments after the vote, which occurred late Saturday evening Ukraine time.

But few places are as emblematic of the suburban shift away from the Republican Party during the Trump years as this part of northern Los Angeles County. San Joaquin County officials spent much of 2021 lobbying the state redistricting commission to put as much of the county — one of the fastest growing in the state — within a single congressional district. It’s a collage of Sacramento River Delta towns, Bay Area commuter ’burbs and foothill communities — but all roads ultimately lead to Stockton. Voters will elect members from 52 congressional districts to represent the Golden State. At stake has been one of Biden’s top foreign policy priorities — halting Russian President Vladimir Putin’s advance in Europe.

"Speaker Johnson has been on the job for what, two or three weeks now?" Good continued. Rep. Derrick Van Orden, R-Wis., said he'll support the CR today and wondered aloud about criticism of the bill focused on the fact that Democrats plan to support it. The tensions on Capitol Hill are hitting their peak after a long period in session. The House has been working for 10 weeks straight, an unusually long time without a break, and several of them were spent on an ugly fight over the speaker's gavel. Democrats support aid for Israel but oppose the House's bill because it cuts funding to ramp up IRS enforcement. As a result, it would add billions to the deficit, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

Here's what to know about Thursday's multiple votes for speaker

Kiley, a Republican Assemblymember from Rocklin, is a darling of California conservatism and a 37-year-old Ivy League-educated lawyer who ran a long-shot campaign for governor in last year’s recall race. He’s spent much of his legislative career introducing equally long-shot bills designed to irk and embarrass Democrats. In the primary, Kiley easily fended off a Republican Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones, helped by Kiley’s frequent appearances on Fox News and his position as one of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s most persistent critics.

First, she was removed from her well-televised committee perch to the dismay of many progressives. Then California’s redistricting commission reduced the Democratic majority in her district from more than 20,000 to just more than 6,000. There’s a little bit of San Fernando Valley to the south, a big chunk of Antelope Valley to the north, but the heart of this district is Santa Clarita. This is a historically conservative valley, populated by the “white flight” out of Los Angeles proper in the 1970s and domicile to many a suburb-seeking cop.

McHenry says House is probably not going to adjourn any time soon

Democrats now outnumber Republicans here, though turnout still tends to favor the GOP. Roughly the size of West Virginia, this district runs up the rain-shadowed eastern side of the Sierra, from Death Valley to Lassen National Forest, before spilling out of the mountains into the foothills northeast of Sacramento. Ukraine’s defense once enjoyed robust, bipartisan support in Congress, but as the war enters its third year, a bulk of Republicans oppose further aid. Trump ally Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) offered an amendment to zero out the money, but it was rejected.

“I'm pretty sure one will come to the floor, if he doesn't resign at some point, but we're trying to avoid that,” he said. Ukrainian servicemen told CNN the US House vote to approve military aid provides a much-needed shot in the arm. "US security aid [to Israel] constitutes a dangerous escalation and aggression against the Palestinian people," Abu Rudeineh added. In March, House lawmakers approved a bill that would give TikTok roughly six months to sell or the app would be prohibited from US app stores and from “internet hosting services” that support it. The House of Representatives on Tuesday afternoon narrowly voted to remove Speaker Kevin McCarthy from his position.

One reliably conservative GOP lawmaker told CNN about the "increasing frustration" among centrists at the number of concessions McCarthy has offered opponents as he scrambles to get to 218 votes. McCarthy's bid for speaker -- he lost 11 votes in the House this week -- has been stymied by about 20 fellow Republicans. The vote could come back to haunt swing-district Republican candidates.

GOP Rep. Patrick McHenry, a key negotiator who is trying to lock in support for Rep. Kevin McCarthy for speaker, said the House is “probably not” going to adjourn any time soon. McCarthy also denied that any members would lose committee assignments and said there have been no negotiations that involved giving subcommittee chairmanships to dissidents. Defying a congressional subpoena, Hunter Biden refused to sit for closed-door questioning by Republicans and said he would only testify in public.

Field units have reported rationing artillery shells and precision rockets even as Russian troops mount an aggressive push in places like the key eastern town of Chasiv Yar. “What we want to do is have assurances on paper about what the process is and how to deliver these conservative reforms that I think the conference will appreciate and endorse,” he said. Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries had the unanimous support of his caucus. Kevin McCarthy was defeated again in the 11th round of voting for House speaker. But the thought is that a call could potentially minimize that, as members from all sides of the conference continue to try to come to a deal over the speakership. House Republicans are scheduled to hold a conference call Friday, a source familiar tells CNN.
