Abstract

For the past three days Republicans in the US House of Representatives have failed to elect a new Speaker of the House – and without which the chamber is unable to legislate. Phelan US Centre Director, Professor Peter Trubowitz looks at why Republicans have not been to agree to support California Republican, Kevin McCarthy’s bid for the speakership and what this may mean for the party, and for important aspects of US governance in the coming year.
