After 15 rounds of voting that ended in the wee hours of Saturday, Kevin McCarthy was elected Speaker of the House. Hours before, three Georgians were honored at a White House ceremony, and the Georgia Bulldogs landed in Los Angeles to defend their national championship in football.

All three stories are covered, with photos, in the Saturday ePaper edition of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Coverage continues on ajc.com and in the AJC app.
