U.S. House adjourns after failing to elect speaker

The U.S. House of Representatives adjourned on Tuesday evening after its members failed to elect a speaker for the lower chamber.

U.S. Congressman Kevin McCarthy, a Republican from California, failed to secure enough votes in three ballots earlier in the day after a group of House Republicans voted against him.

There will be at least a fourth vote as House members agreed to adjourn until Wednesday noon. McCarthy is reportedly negotiating with fellow Republicans on Tuesday night.
