Congresswoman Alma Adams

I voted no on adjourning the House tonight. We have work to do.

Since the first vote for Speaker, 212 members of the House Democrats have been united behind Hakeem Jeffries. However, over the course of these 6 votes, Mr. McCarthy has lost two supporters.

No matter how this ends, it’s clear House Republicans are incapable of governing.
 
When we finally elect a Speaker, I look forward to being sworn in and doing what I’ve always done: work my hat off for the people of North Carolina.

@RepAdams Okay, you're there. Who is a compromise candidate that 6 Republicans and 212 Democrats can support? Presto - one Speaker!
