## Caption

U.S. Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) receives the gavel from House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) after McCarthy was elected Speaker in the House Chamber at the U.S. Capitol Building early in the morning on January 07, 2023 in Washington, DC. After four days of voting and 15 ballots, McCarthy secured enough votes to become Speaker of the House for the 118th Congress. McCarthy failed to earn more than 218 votes on 14 previous ballots, marking the first time in 100 years that the Speaker was not elected on the first ballot. ⁠
