Moon rises behind Capitol as votes for Speaker of the House continue

A full moon shines above the US Capitol as the House of Representatives votes on its 11th ballot for Speaker of the House. Republicans are deadlocked over whether their current leader, Rep. Kevn McCarthy (R-CA) should become Speaker. As a result, no candidate has received the 218 votes (a majority of the full House) required to be elected Speaker. (Photo by Allison Bailey/NurPhoto)
