And right now the fate of the House Of Representatives is up for grabs with another vote to decide the next speaker of the house. Beginning any moment now, we have live pictures of the house floor we want to show you, where jim jordan is trying to convince a group of holdouts to cast their vote for him after his attempts to secure the speakership yesterday ended in failure. 20 republicans voted for someone else. This is all happening as President Biden is wrapping up his visit to israel to show the United States support among israels war with hamas. Were also keeping an eye on beirut, lebanon, where a scene of protests and some violence is playing out as propalestinian protesters gather outside the u. S. Embassy in the lebanese capital
