We have pressing work to do for Americans including fixing the economy, growing energy independence, and securing the border. The far majority of conference supports McCarthy but a few are holding us hostage.

[Rep. Austin Scott @AustinScottGA08]

McCarthy earned the right to be the speaker, and any vote against him damages Republicans and our ability to govern.

Those opposing him are putting their selfish motivations over what’s best for our nation.

The House has passed the omnibus by a vote of 225-201.
9 Republicans voted yes. 4 Rs didn't vote.
1 Democrat voted no.
And Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., voted “present”… by proxy.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans win 218 seats needed to control House, securing slim majority that will complicate party’s ability to govern.

[Matt Loffman @mattloff]

"It's a complete misrepresentation that we're going to cut Social Security or Medicare. It's a scare tactic," @USRepGaryPalmer says about a potential Republican majority in Congress. Live now on @NewsHour

[Matt Loffman @mattloff]

If Republicans win back control of Congress, can they fix inflation? "It depends on whether the White House is willing to work with us," @USRepGaryPalmer tells @JudyWoodruff on @NewsHour.

Has Biden been a drag for Democrats? "No. Not at all," @SpeakerPelosi says. "He's been a great president." Interview airing LIVE now @NewsHour.

[Matt Loffman @mattloff]

"We intend to win," @SpeakerPelosi says to @JudyWoodruff on @NewsHour. " The election is not determined by pundits in Washington. It's determined by the American people." Adds that Ds will respect the outcome.

[Matt Loffman @mattloff]

"I do" see a path for Democrats to maintain control of the House, @SpeakerPelosi tells @JudyWoodruff on @NewsHour. "We have far superior candidates.... Just because history says you can't win is no deterrent."

[Matt Loffman @mattloff]

"Day by day" he gets better, @SpeakerPelosi says about her husband Paul, after he was attacked in their home. "I believe in prayer... he's making progress." @NewsHour

One third say its to oppose him.
One third say Biden isn't a factor.
