U.S. House Speaker Stalemate: Here's How PA Congress Members Voted

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. House of Representatives remained an inactive body Thursday morning as the historic impasse over the speaker's position entered its third day.

Although Republicans hold a majority in the House, GOP Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California has failed to win the speaker's job. His bid been thwarted by a Republican faction of ultra-conservatives.

McCarthy needs 218 votes to be speaker. Democrats in the House have voted exclusively for Hakeem Jeffries of New York, so McCarthy must persuade members of his own party to break the deadlock.

Until the stalemate ends, the House essentially cannot function. Six ballots thus far have been cast for the speaker's job, the first time multiple votes have been taken for the job since 1923.

Here's how Pennsylvania's representatives have voted thus far:

• Brendan Boyle: Jeffries, all votes.
• Matt Cartwright: Jeffries, all votes.
• Madeleine Dean: Jeffries, all votes.
• Chris Deluzio: Jeffries, all votes.
• Dwight Evans: Jeffries, all votes.
• Brian Fitzpatrick: McCarthy, all votes.
• Chrissy Houlahan: Jeffries, all votes.
• John Joyce: McCarthy, all votes.
• Mike Kelly: McCarthy, all votes.
• Summer Lee: Jeffries, all votes.
• Dan Meuser: McCarthy, all votes.
• Scott Perry: Andy Biggs of Arizona, first vote; Jim Jordan of Ohio, second and third votes; Byron Donalds of Florida, fourth, fifth and sixth votes.
• Guy Reschenthaler: McCarthy, all votes.
• Mary Gay Scanlon: Jeffries, all votes.
