Lawmakers in the sharply divided chamber will reconvene on Friday, the second anniversary of a riot by Trump supporters at the US Capitol.
Rules do not require the speaker to be a member of the House, and on Thursday, Florida Republican rebel Matt Gaetz cast a protest ballot for Mr Trump to serve in the role. Colorado Republican Lauren Boebert nominated a lawmaker from Oklahoma, telling her colleagues to move past Mr McCarthy.
