From Conservative Treehouse:
After Three Failed Attempts to Elect a Speaker, The House of Representatives Adjourns Until Noon Tomorrow
The House of Representatives failed to elect a House Speaker through three rounds of voting. Approximately 20 members of the Republican conference will not vote for Kevin McCarthy, as a result there is a stalemate. The Republican caucus requested adjournment until noon tomorrow, Wednesday January 4th.
Essentially Kevin McCarthy needs to: (1) step aside and accept he will not be Speaker, or (2) continue the House voting in futility, or (3) find a way to convince the Republican holdouts to support him.
He considers that "he's earned it" so he will stick it out and let Democrat radical Hakeem Jeffries get the position.
Rope. Tree. Some assembly required. Time to start with a clean house. And senate.
