On January 7th, Kevin Mccarthy was elected to be the new Speaker of the House. The Speaker of the House is the most important person in the House of Representatives. They are elected by the other members of the house and they are responsible for running it. They decide when the House meets, what bills are debated, and how votes are casted.

The process of selecting a new Speaker is a lengthy one, with the election of Kevin McCarthy being no exception. After the Democratic and Republican nominees were selected, the entire House of Representatives had to vote on who would become the new Speaker. This process took over a month, with both parties working to sway the votes of their colleagues. Ultimately, McCarthy was able to secure the majority of votes after 15 attempts, becoming the new Speaker of the House. 

This was an important step towards ensuring that the House of Representatives is able to serve the American people to the best of its abilities. With McCarthy as Speaker, the House will be able to tackle the many issues that face the country and possibly even find common ground with the Senate on key legislation.
