Ukrinform informs about this.

The sixth vote, which took place in the House of Representatives

, differed little from the previous attempts, which took place two days in a row.

House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy, considered the front-runner for speaker, failed to get the minimum 218 votes needed.

Two dozen of his fellow party members, who represent the conservative and far-right wing of the party, sharply criticized McCarthy and nominated their own candidate.

But the Democrats demonstrated solid unity for the sixth time, casting all 212 of their votes for their own candidate, Hakeem Jeffries.

We will remind that 

Biden commented on the unsuccessful attempts of the Republicans to elect the speaker of the House of Representatives

.

He was a little embarrassed by this situation, but he will not interfere in the process.
