U.S. House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy has failed multiple times today to get the needed votes from his fellow Republicans to become the next House Speaker.

Georgia’s congressional delegation has had a mixed response.

Congressman Andrew Clyde of Athens was the only Georgia Republican not backing McCarthy in the opening rounds of voting.
