Rep. Kevin McCarthy predicts GOP will take the House
Top Republican Kevin McCarthy – who has the backing of former US president Donald Trump for speaker – has said his party will take control of the House of Representatives.
His party, he said, would “get America back on track”.
“Let me tell you, you’re out late, but when you wake up tomorrow, we will be in the majority and Nancy Pelosi will be in the minority.”
The vote for speaker is an internal process and only House members cast a vote.
Democrat Nancy Pelosi is the current speaker of the House.
Polling suggests Republicans are still expected to take control of the House.
