Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) during a Jan. 3 television appearance suggested the possibility of a “coalition government” between Rep.-elect Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.)—the frontrunner in the race for speaker—and Democrats.
On Jan. 3, the House cast three ballots for speaker of the House with no result—the first time in more than 100 years that the vote for speaker has taken more than one ballot.
