WASHINGTON: United States President Joe Biden, on Wednesday, called the inability of the House Republicans "embarrassing" for not being able to select a Speaker as party infighting continued for a second day, The New York Post reported.
While talking with the reporters, Biden said, "That's not my problem. I just think it's a little embarrassing it's taking so long and the way they're dealing with one another," On the third day also, the White House failed to select the Speaker. And Representative Kevin McCarthy failed to secure the Speakership on the House's sixth vote — and third of the day.
"The rest of the world is looking, and they're looking at, you know, can we get our act together?" the President added as he prepared to host an infrastructure event with top Senate Republican Mitch McConnell in the minority leader's home state, according to The New York Post.
"What I'm focused on is getting things done. And I'm going down to Ohio and Kentucky today to demonstrate we can get things done. We passed an enormous bill bipartisanly," Biden continued.
"How do you think this looks to the rest of the world? We're finally coming out of, you know, the first time we're really getting through the whole issue relating to January 6th, things are settling out and now for the first time in 100 years, we can't move? according to The New York Post
For the first time in 100 years, the US House of Representatives failed to elect a speaker on the first ballot after Top House Republican Kevin McCarthy fell short of a majority on the first ballot after failing to gain support from hardliners and other Republican representatives, CNN reported.
