On 1 February 2023, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer (Democratic) signed Public Act 2 of 2023 SB 13 to amend § 613a of 1954 PA 116 (MCL 168.613a): "A statewide presidential primary election must be conducted ... on February 27, 2024, and on the 4th Tuesday in February in each presidential election year after 2024."

2024 Presidential Primary Calendar

The date is compliant with Democratic Party rules-- on 2 December 2022 the Democratic National Committee Rules and Bylaws Committee recommended a Michigan pre-window date of Tuesday 27 February 2024.

However, the date is not compliant with Republican Party rules. If the Michigan GOP uses the Michigan Primary to allocate delegates, the state would be subject to sanctions: "... If any state or state Republican Party violates Rule No. 16(c)(1) [beginning before 1 March] ..., the number of delegates ... shall be reduced for those states with 30 or more ... delegates to 9 plus the members of the Republican National Committee ... " [Rule 17(a)]. The state would go from 55 delegates to 12, a 78% reduction.

The Partisan Composition of the U.S. Senate is now 49 Democrats, 48 Republicans, 2 Independents, and 1 vacant seat (Nebraska Senate Class 2).

The Members-elect of the United States House of Representatives were gaveled into session at 12:00 PM EST [1700 GMT], Friday 6 January 2023, again by outgoing Clerk of the House Cheryl L. Johnson.

Prior to a Twelfth Ballot for Speaker of the House of Representatives, Kevin O. McCarthy of California [Republican], and Hakeem S. Jeffries of New York [Democrat], were once more formally nominated for Speaker of the House-- joined, on this ballot, by formal nominations for Republican Members of Congress James D. Jordan of Ohio, and Kevin R. Hern of Oklahoma (both of whom, nonetheless, had consistently voted- as they would continue to do- for Mr. McCarthy on all ballots). On this ballot, Mr. McCarthy received 213 votes (the first time he had led on a ballot), Mr. Jeffries 211, Mr. Jordan 4 and Mr. Hern 3; no vote was cast for someone other than these formally nominated candidates for Speaker, and no Member-elect voted 'Present'. 431 of all 434 possible votes thus having actually been cast for Speaker, and no candidate for Speaker having attained a Majority of the same (216), a Thirteenth Ballot for Speaker was thereby necessitated (the most since a Speaker election in the 16th Congress).

On this 13th Ballot, only Mr. McCarthy and Mr. Jeffries were formally nominated, and the results were 214 for Mr. McCarthy, 212 for Mr. Jeffries, with 6 votes for Mr. Jordan (who had not been formally nominated for Speaker): 432 of all 434 possible votes thus having actually been cast for Speaker on this ballot, and no candidate for Speaker having attained a Majority of the same (217), a 14th Ballot was thereby necessitated but, before that ballot could be held, a motion to adjourn the House was entertained and, after an apparently closely divided vote viva voce on the motion, the Yeas and Nays were ordered and the motion carried by a vote of 220-212. As a result, at 3:39 PM EST [2039 GMT], the House adjourned until later that evening.

After the House reconvened at 10:02 PM EST [0302 GMT], there was a Fourteenth Ballot on which, again, only Mr. McCarthy and Mr. Jeffries were formally nominated; as a result of this ballot, the results were 216 for McCarthy, 212 for Jeffries, with 2 votes for Mr. Jordan and 2 votes for Member of Congress Andrew S. Biggs of Arizona [Republican], and 2 Members-elect voting 'Present': 432 of all 434 possible votes thus having actually been cast for Speaker on this ballot, and no candidate for Speaker having attained a Majority of the same (217), a 15th Ballot was thereby necessitated but, before that ballot could be held, a motion to adjourn the House was entertained and, after an apparently closely divided vote viva voce on the motion, the Yeas and Nays were ordered and (after some confusion, as a significant number of Members-elect originally voting 'Aye' thereafter changed their votes to 'Nay'), the motion failed of adoption by a vote of 155-279.

Thus, there was to be an immediate Fifteenth Ballot on which, yet again, only Mr. McCarthy and Mr. Jeffries were formally nominated; as a result of this ballot, the results were 216 for McCarthy, 212 for Jeffries, and 6 Members-elect voting 'Present': 428 of 434 possible votes thus having actually been cast for Speaker and Kevin McCarthy's 216 being a majority of said 428, Mr. McCarthy was thereby elected to that post on this ballot.

Newly elected Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy later answered affirmatively to the following Oath:

• Do you solemnly swear (or affirm) that you will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that you will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that you take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and that you will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which you are about to enter?

The Members-elect of the United States House of Representatives were gaveled into session at 12:01 PM EST [1701 GMT], Thursday 5 January 2023, once more by outgoing Clerk of the House Cheryl L. Johnson.

Prior to a Seventh Ballot for Speaker of the House of Representatives, Kevin O. McCarthy of California [Republican], Hakeem S. Jeffries of New York [Democrat], and Byron L. Donalds of Florida [Republican] were yet again formally nominated for Speaker of the House. On this ballot, Mr. Jeffries received 212 votes, Mr. McCarthy 201, and Mr. Donalds 19; in addition, 1 vote was cast for someone other than these formally nominated candidates for Speaker (this being former President of the United States Donald J. Trump, Sr.)-- and, yet again, 1 Member-elect voted 'Present'. 433 of all 434 possible votes thus having actually been cast for Speaker (the voting 'Present', again, not counting as having voted), and no candidate for Speaker having attained a Majority of the same (217), an Eighth Ballot for Speaker was thereby necessitated.

On this 8th Ballot, the results were 212 for Mr. Jeffries, 201 for Mr.McCarthy, and 17 for Mr. Donalds, with 2 votes for Member of Congress Kenneth R. Hern [Republican] of Oklahoma and 1 vote again for former President Trump (neither of whom had been formally nominated for Speaker), and 1 Member-elect voting 'Present', thereby necessitating a 9th Ballot on which-- in addition to Mr. McCarthy, Mr. Jeffries, and Mr. Donalds-- Mr. Hern was also (for the first time) formally nominated for Speaker; as a result of this ballot, the results were 212 for Jeffries, 200 for McCarthy, 17 for Donalds, and 3 for Kern, with 1 Member-elect again having voted 'Present'. 432 of all 434 possible votes thus having actually been cast for Speaker on this 9th Ballot, and no candidate for Speaker having attained a Majority of the same (217), an Tenth Ballot for Speaker was thereby necessitated (surpassing the number back in 1923, thus making this election for Speaker of the House in the 118th Congress the one with the most Ballots held since before the Civil War).

On this 10th Ballot, the results were 212 for Mr. Jeffries, 200 for Mr.McCarthy, 13 for Mr. Donalds, and 7 for Mr. Hern (with, once more, 1 Member-elect voting 'Present'), thereby necessitating an 11th Ballot, on which-- besides Mr. McCarthy, Mr. Jeffries, and Mr. Hern-- former President Donald J. Trump, Sr. was also formally nominated; the results of this ballot were 212 for Jeffries, 200 for McCarthy, 7 for Hern, 1 for Trump-- 12 votes were also cast for Mr. Donalds (who was not formally nominated for this particular ballot) and, once more, 1 Member-elect voted 'Present'.

A 12th Ballot was, thereby, necessitated-- thus tying this current Speaker election for 5th longest series of balloting in History (with that back in 1820)-- but, before that ballot could be held, a motion to adjourn the House was entertained and, after an apparently closely divided vote viva voce on the motion, the Yeas and Nays were ordered and the motion carried by a vote of 219-213. As a result, at 8:07 PM EST [0107 GMT], the House adjourned until the following day.

Kentucky: Governor: Jacob Clark (Republican) - added; Brian Hockensmith (Democratic) - apparently not a candidate; Clint Johnson (Republican) - apparently not a candidate; Anthony "Tony" Moore (Republican) - apparently not a candidate.

Michigan: Senate Class 1: Senator Debbie Stabenow (Democratic) - Open Seat - 5 January 2023: "... I am announcing ... that I will not seek re-election and will leave ... at the end of my term on January 3, 2025 .... "

The Members-elect of the United States House of Representatives were gaveled into session at 12:01 PM EST [1701 GMT], Wednesday 4 January 2023, again by outgoing Clerk of the House Cheryl L. Johnson (who holds the Chair so long as no Speaker has been elected).

Prior to a Fourth Ballot for Speaker of the House of Representatives, former (in the previous Congress) Minority Leader Kevin O. McCarthy of California [Republican], and incoming presumptive Minority Leader Hakeem S. Jeffries of New York [Democrat], were again formally nominated for Speaker of the House; and (instead of Mr. Jordan) were joined by a formal nomination of Member of Congress Byron L. Donalds of Florida [Republican] (the first time in History, by the way, that two African-Americans [Mr. Donalds and Mr. Jeffries] have been formally nominated for Speaker). On this ballot, Mr. Jeffries received 212 votes, Mr. McCarthy 201, and Mr. Donalds 20; no votes were cast for anyone other than these formally nominated candidates for Speaker-- however, 1 Member-elect voted 'Present'.

433 of all 434 possible votes thus having actually been cast for Speaker (voting 'Present' is effectively an abstention that does not count as a vote having been cast), and no candidate for Speaker having attained a Majority of the same (217), a Fifth Ballot for Speaker was thereby necessitated.

On this 5th Ballot, the results were precisely the same as on the previous one (212 for Mr. Jeffries, 201 for Mr.McCarthy, 20 for Mr. Donalds, with 1 Member-elect voting 'Present'), thereby necessitating a 6th Ballot on which the results were again the same (212-201-20 for the formally nominated candidates in the same order, with 1 Member-elect again having voted 'Present').

A 7th Ballot was thereby necessitated but, before that ballot could be held, a motion to adjourn the House was entertained, and approved viva voce. As a result, at 4:35 PM EST [2135 GMT], the U.S. House of Representatives adjourned until later that evening.

After the House reconvened at 8:01 PM EST [0101 GMT], a motion to adjourn was immediately entertained and, after an apparently closely divided vote viva voce on the motion, the Yeas and Nays were ordered and the motion carried by a vote of 216-214. Accordingly, at 8:25 PM EST [0125 GMT], the House adjourned until the following day.

The U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES initially consists of 222 Republicans, 212 Democrats, and 1 seat that is currently vacant [that from VIRGINIA's 4th Congressional District, re: which Member of Congress Aston Donald "Donald" McEachin (Democrat) died in office following his re-election to the House].

The UNITED STATES SENATE initially consists of 49 Republicans, 48 Democrats, and 3 Independents (all of whom are caucusing with the Democrats, giving that party a working Majority in this chamber of Congress).

The United States Senate was called to order by Vice President of the United States Kamala D. Harris, in her capacity as constitutional President of the Senate, at 12:01 PM EST [1701 GMT], Tuesday 3 January 2023.

34 newly elected (or re-elected) Class 3 United States Senators were chosen for full six-year terms (beginning today, 3 January 2023) in the most recent [2022] Federal Elections, along with one Class 2 United States Senator chosen in a Special Senate Election to fill an unexpired term (ending at Noon on 3 January 2027)-- a total of 35 of the 100 members of the Senate all told: of these, 34 were sworn in at the dais in groups of four presenting themselves before the Vice President (all except Senator James Lankford [R-Oklahoma], who was likewise sworn in at another time), and all answered in the affirmative to the requisite Oath of Office posed as the following question:

• Do you solemnly swear that you will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that you will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that you take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and that you will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which you are about to enter?

Following a preceding pro forma session (gaveled into session by outgoing Speaker of the House Nancy D. Pelosi [D-California], and held in order to formally adjourn the outgoing 117th Congress sine die at 11:57 AM EST [1657 GMT]), the United States House of Representatives of the 118th Congress of the United States was first gaveled into session at 12:01 PM EST [1701 GMT], Tuesday 3 January 2023, by outgoing Clerk of the House Cheryl L. Johnson.

Prior to the First Ballot for Speaker of the House of Representatives, former (in the previous Congress) Minority Leader Kevin O. McCarthy of California [Republican], incoming presumptive Minority Leader Hakeem S. Jeffries of New York [Democrat], and Member of Congress Andrew S. Biggs of Arizona [Republican], were each formally nominated for Speaker of the House. On this ballot, Mr. Jeffries received 212 votes, Mr. McCarthy 203, and Mr. Biggs 10; no Member of Congress other these three had their names formally placed in nomination for Speaker of the House; nonetheless, 9 other votes for Speaker were scattered among 4 others: 6 votes were cast for Member of Congress James D. Jordan [Republican] of Ohio; and there were also votes cast for Member of Congress James E. Banks [Republican] of Indiana, Member of Congress Byron L. Donalds [Republican] of Florida, and former Member of Congress Lee M. Zeldin [Republican], each of whom received 1 vote.

434 of all 434 possible votes thus having actually been cast for Speaker, and no candidate for Speaker having attained a Majority of the same (218), a Second Ballot for Speaker was thereby necessitated (for only the 15th time in the history of the Congress of the United States, and only the second time since the American Civil War [the last time being in December 1923 re: the 68th Congress]).

Prior to the Second Ballot for Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. McCarthy [Republican], Mr. Jeffries [Democrat] were again formally nominated for Speaker of the House; and (instead of Mr. Biggs) were joined by a formal nomination of Member of Congress James D. Jordan of Ohio [Republican] (this last despite Mr. Jordan himself having nominated Mr. McCarthy prior to this very ballot). On this ballot, Mr. Jeffries again received 212 votes, Mr. McCarthy again received 203, and Mr. Jordan received 19; no votes were cast for anyone other than the formally nominated candidates for Speaker. 434 of all 434 possible votes thus having actually been cast for Speaker, and no candidate for Speaker having, again, attained a Majority of the same (218), a Third Ballot for Speaker was thereby necessitated.

Prior to the Third Ballot for Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. McCarthy [Republican], Mr. Jeffries [Democrat], and Mr. Jordan [Republican] were again formally nominated for Speaker of the House. On this ballot, Mr. Jeffries again received 212 votes, Mr. McCarthy received 202, and Mr. Jordan received 20; no votes were cast for anyone other than the formally nominated candidates for Speaker. 434 of all 434 possible votes thus having actually been cast for Speaker, and no candidate for Speaker having, again, attained a Majority of the same (218), a Fourth Ballot for Speaker was thereby necessitated.

Before that ballot could be held, however, a motion to adjourn the House was entertained, and approved viva voce. Thereby, the U.S. House of Representatives adjourned until the following day at 5:27 PM EST [2227 GMT].
