here. now, the hard work begins. i may not know all of you, some of you are new, but i hope one thing is clear after this week: i never give up. pete: that s the truth. it happened just after midnight last night after 15 rounds of voting, the house elects california republican kevin mccarthy as the speaker of the house. emily: mccarthy taking the gavel in a late night session as the gop looks to get to work. will: alexandria hoff is live in washington with more. good morning, alexandria. reporter: good morning. it took 14 failed votes flipping more than a dozen holdouts and a final tally taking place just after midnight but speaker mccarthy has the gavel and we have the 118th congress sworn in early this morning. that you will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which you are about to enter so help you god. i do. congratulations, you are now mcellroy members members of the 118th congress. reporter: it is conclusion of drama-filled four days of vo
suspenseful. more than 24 hour was aa primary race closed, key to which party holds the senate next year, the biggest primary of the year has stretched into night two, with the two gop senate kcandidates deadlocked. david mccormick and trump endorsed mehmet oz. thousands of mail-in ballots are still being counted. and even after they re counted, this dead heat race is likely headed to an automatic recount under pennsylvania law because of the slim margin. so, both oz and mccormick have already acknowledged that still isn t over. in fact, there s a process. we have ten of thousands of mail-in ballots that have not been counted. we re not going to have a result tonight. when all the votes are tallied, i am confident we will win. the process remains. but here comes donald trump today on his social media site, ripping a page right out of his own playbook that his endorsed candidate, oz, just go ahead and declare victory. why? he said so it s, quote, harder for them to cheat.
