Despite his party having a majority in the parliament, it took Mr. McCarthy 15 rounds of voting to gain the position.

The dramatic lobbying campaign to get party dissident Matt Gaetz to vote for Mr. McCarthy took place live on the House floor before it happened.

The congressman from Florida was one of six sceptics who caved late on Friday.

Rep. Mike Rogers, a backer of Mr. McCarthy, and Mr. Gaetz had previously engaged in heated exchanges in the chamber and nearly exchanged blows. The congressman from Alabama yelled and pointed his finger at Mr. Gaetz, and his colleagues had to physically detain him.
