Breaking News: McCarthy claims speakership on 15th ballot

Kevin McCarthy eked out victory on the 15th ballot, claiming the speakership, after steadily peeling away detractors throughout Friday.

He claimed the House's top gavel after Reps. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), Eli Crane (R-Ariz.), Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), Bob Good (R-Va.) and Matt Rosendale (R-Mont.) flipped from no to "present" over the course of two late-night ballots. The victory, after a chaotic and theatrical failure on the 14th round, marks the pinnacle of the California Republican's time in Congress since he arrived in 2007.

But McCarthy's four-day slog to a win underscores the challenges he will face in guiding the GOP's narrow House majority through the rest of this Congress. In order to secure the votes, he made a series of concessions to conservatives that significantly empower his right flank.
