Even after eleven rounds of voting, still no president for the US House of Representatives: next vote postponed

An eleventh round of voting on Thursday also failed to provide a decisive answer for a new speaker of the US House of Representatives.

That is eighteen too few to be elected as the new chairman, something that is normally a formality. That is why voting has been postponed to Friday.
