After six votes, Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives still have not been able to pick a new Speaker of the House. The former minority leader, Kevin McCarthy, was the favorite but has fallen over a dozen votes short through six ballots. The dysfunction has clearly irked Omaha-area Congressman Don Bacon, a McCarthy supporter, who told 3 News Now he doesn’t believe they are close to an agreement. He calls the 20 or so detractors selfish and says they asked for too many concessions. He wants his GOP colleagues to come together, pick a speaker and pass bills conservative lawmakers universally want to get done.
