• Vote Count: House Removes McCarthy as Speaker

Thirty-nine Democrats had voted “no” on Friday on the rule to allow the foreign aid package to come to the House floor, a target that progressives just missed on Saturday on the Israel bill. Fourteen of those Democrats voted on Saturday in favor of aid to Israel, while 12 Democrats who voted to allow the package on the floor on Friday then cast votes against the funding itself. Most recently, Representative Tom Emmer of Minnesota, the No. 3 House Republican, withdrew his bid for the speakership just hours after winning a closed-door vote. A week prior, Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio failed to win the speakership after three floor votes, facing increasing opposition from his own party in each vote. Before him, Representative Steve Scalise of Louisiana withdrew his bid after winning a closed-door vote to become the nominee.

"When you vote on this bill today, somebody will have a better job tomorrow because of your vote. Families will be stronger and more self-sufficient. People will be lifted out of poverty," he added. "This is going to save families money and make America less dependent on China, changing America for the better for decades to come." "I think it was an opportunity, but they got something done. Kevin worked really hard," he added, referring to McCarthy.

Speaker Johnson will need Democratic support for two-step funding bill

Biden, who is traveling to Colorado today, said he expects the bill to move forward tonight. “God willing, by the time I land, Congress will have acted, the House will have acted, and we’ll be one step closer,” he said. Sanders also called the bill "totally unnecessary" and said he looks forward to the day Biden eliminates the debt ceiling by invoking the 14th Amendment. Without unanimous agreement from all senators, the Senate may not be able to pass the debt ceiling bill until Tuesday — a day after the deadline. The House will now debate the debt ceiling bill and then vote on the legislation later in the evening.

The workers are drawn from the agency’s civil rights division and U.S. attorneys’ offices, along with, in some cases, staff from the Office of Personnel Management. Hassan stresses that New Hampshire is a purple state and will be a close race. She has touted her bipartisan record, passing bills to lower prescription drug costs, boost manufacturing jobs, and invest millions in roads, bridges and rail projects. Those ballots will be collected and sent to Maricopa’s “central tabulators,” County Recorder Stephen Richer said. Results are expected to be close, and operatives say the final vote count may stretch into the week.

But any changes at this stage would send the whole bill back to the House, and Congress is on a tight timeline to avoid default. "You want to keep it in check. If you eliminate it, people here, they just want to spend money all the time." “I will go on any TV station with anyone opposing the debt ceiling bill to debate the most conservative option,” he tweeted.

She says her administration also helped bring new business to the state. In the last midterm, they were almost 10% of the vote with pronounced influence in a handful of key states, like Nevada, Arizona, Georgia and Florida. That trend has been driven by the growth of Latino, Asian American and Pacific Islander voters. Both parties are making a final push for turnout on Election Day, especially among the state's critical Latino voters.

Ukraine, Israel aid advances in rare House vote as Democrats help Republicans push it forward.

Inaugurating tonight’s live special coverage, Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., talked to NPR's Ayesha Rascoe and Ailsa Chang about how history guides his understanding of the present. Leavitt says that despite younger voters skewing Democrat in past elections, she hopes her candidacy can help move voters toward the Republican party. Now, the focus nationally will turn to vote-counting, which is expected to take days in some places like Pennsylvania, where, due to state law, clerks were unable to start processing mail ballots until Tuesday morning.

Education and parental rights issues have also become staples of the Dixon campaign. Meanwhile, Republican Tudor Dixon — a first-time candidate — has hammered Whitmer on her COVID-19 response and inflation. NPR's Pablo Valdivia asked Latinos what issues they wish politicians would focus more of their attention on. Their answers spanned everything from the economy and inflation to gun control and greater resources for Puerto Rico. According to a recent Washington Post-Ipsos poll, Democrats have a 27-point advantage with voters who identify as Hispanic.

That would mean the state’s Republican-controlled legislature would decide abortion access, and courts would be prevented from interpreting a right to abortion using the state’s fundamental legal document. History tells us the party out of power has also had more luck when a president’s approval rating is below 50%, as President Biden's has been. Remember, Republicans need to net just five House seats and one Senate seat to win both chambers. And without the influence of outside groups, Republican candidates would be swamped on the airwaves. In 2018, a year in which Democrats re-took the House, their participation rates jumped — up nearly 50% for Latinos and Asian Americans and 27% for Black voters. The former state attorney general has been in the Senate since 2017, and this year is up against another former Nevada attorney general, Republican Adam Laxalt.

Many Democrats are expected to support the bill since the CR does not cut spending or attach other conservative policy riders, but they will formalize their position in a caucus meeting that's happening this morning. After trashing the idea of a two-step strategy to fund the government, House Democrats signaled Monday that they are open to backing Speaker Mike Johnson’s plan, significantly lowering the threat of a painful shutdown at the end of the week. "Speaker Johnson has been on the job for what, two or three weeks now?" Good continued.

The report forecasts Republicans will make a net gain of anywhere from 12 to 25 seats. But, in total, 35 of the 435 House seats are considered a toss-up, where either party has a good chance of winning. The Cook Political Report is forecasting that the GOP could take anywhere from 12 to 25 seats.

And, consequently, they don’t have enough Republican support to proceed. Saturday's vote marked the first time the House had approved billions of dollars in Ukraine aid since December 2022, when Democrats still controlled the chamber. Under Johnson's unconventional plan, the Ukraine bill will be sent to the Senate as part of a package that includes aid for Israel and Taiwan and a third bill that forces a sale of TikTok and allows the United States to confiscate Russian assets. The House of Representatives on Saturday passed a more than $60 billion bill to provide military and economic aid to Ukraine. The House has pushed a $95-billion national security aid package for Ukraine, Israel and other U.S. allies closer to passage.
