As of publication, Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) had lost a fifth vote to become speaker of the House on Wednesday—this time enough Republicans voted for Florida Rep. Byron Donalds—but he’s still walking around the chamber, mingling, smiling and (presumably) attempting to whip votes. President Joe Biden, meanwhile, has no such prerogative to keep private his thoughts on Republicans’ inability to elect a leader.
Biden called the GOP’s fight “embarrassing” as he was leaving the White House to attend an event in Kentucky about the bipartisan infrastructure bill. “With regards to the fight over the speaker…that’s not my problem,” Biden told reporters. “I just think it’s a little embarrassing that it’s taking so long.”
