Finally.. McCarthy takes speakership.. After a failed motion to adjourn until Monday, McCarthy finally had the votes to secure the position. When the win was announced, Reps. Steve Scalise, Elise Stefanik, and Ryan Zinke, the last member to vote, all ran over to McCarthy with their vote cards for him to sign. The entire GOP conference was on their feet clapping. McCarthy hugged many members that came up to him and waved to folks in the gallery.
