The chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Rep Michael McCaul of Texas, has said that the debacle that is the race to replace ousted Speaker Kevin McCarthy is “probably one of the most embarrassing things I’ve seen”.
Appearing on ABC’s This Week on Sunday, Mr McCaul said: “Because if we don’t have a speaker of the House, we can’t govern. And every day goes by, we’re essentially shut down as a government.”
