The Republicans were chosen by Kevin McCarthy, as a leader in the US House of Representatives, which makes him in an advanced position to become president of the parliament in the event of the Republican Party regaining its control as expected.
The Republicans have been elected by the secret voting of McCarthy, the 57 -year -old from California and the prominent member of the Republican leadership in the House of Representatives since 2014, which is far away until the challenge represented by his opponent Andy Bigz, a member of the far -right freedom complex.
But possible splits for the extremist right may put obstacles to McCarthy upon the entire assembly heal in January to elect a president.
Despite the failure of the Republicans to extract control of the Senate from Democrats in the mid -state elections on November 8, they are on their way to control the House of Representatives.
But the majority that they will get is small when the 118 Congress will be left early next year, as votes continue to be sorted in some circles.
McCarthy now begins his arduous campaign to win the chairmanship of the Council on January 3, when the newly elected representatives of Democrats and Republicans meet the 435 members to elect a president, the third most important political position in the United States after the President and Vice President.
The weak performance of the Republicans in the elections also led to the weakening of McCarthy, as the “red wave” of the conservatives did not fulfill.
Any internal splits may take place in the Republican camp, including a party nomination in the party, such as Bigz, which can complicate the election of McCarthy.
The conservative wing of the party has previously made it clear that it would set conditions before McCarthy’s support.
In 2015, McCarthy failed slightly in his attempt to become Speaker of the House of Representatives in Congress where Paul Ryan was then elected..
