<ul class="summary-list"><li>A personal injury firm says contestants of "Squid Game: The Challenge" suffered injuries.</li><li>The firm claims injuries include nerve damage and hypothermia.</li></ul>Contestants of the reality show "Squid Game: The Challenge" are threatening to sue producers over injuries they sustained during competition, according to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/squid-game-the-challenge-lawsuit-injuries-1235676557/">The Hollywood Reporter</a>.British personal injury firm Express Solicitors said on Thursday it is representing contestants of the show — which is based on the hit Netflix Korean drama "Squid Game" — who say they suffered injuries including hypothermia and nerve damage as a result of poor safety standards on set."Production companies need to ensure that health and safety standards on their shows don't leave people at risk of harm," Express Solicitors CEO Daniel Sade said in a statement to the Hollywood reporter, adding that the firm sent claim letters on behalf of injured contestants and that the show "pushed the boundaries of safety in the name of entertainment."The personal injury firm is currently representing two contestants and is in communications with others who may have been injured, The Hollywood Reporter said.Anonymous contestants have previously been quoted in news articles sharing their experience of filming an episode that took several hours in freezing winter conditions. It was like a "warzone," according to one contestant."People were getting carried out by medics, but we couldn't say anything.

"That was a big, complicated shoot, and it was a cold day, and it took quite a long time. But everyone was prepared for that and looked after properly. We anticipated and actually strenuously tested everything in advance and made sure we took all the proper measures."Netflix just dropped the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.insider.com/squid-game-the-challenge-release-date-new-episodes-schedule-2023-11">first five episodes</a> of "Squid Game: The Challenge," where 456 contestants as they compete in <a target="_blank" rel="" href="https://www.insider.com/squid-game-games-ranked-least-most-stressful-to-watch-2021-10">real-life "Squid Game"-inspired challenges</a> in order to win <a target="_blank" rel="" href="https://www.insider.com/netflix-competitors-real-life-squid-game-reality-tv-series-2022-6">$4.56 million</a>. The first season will be released in three batches, with the second two installments going live on November 29 and December 6, respectively.Unlike the television show, "Squid Game: The Challenge" contestants aren't killed; they're just taken out of the competition. Game show contestants are differnt ages, sizes, and races, like the television show, and the last person standing after a varity of games wins $4.65 million the largest prize in reality TV history, according to <a target="_blank" rel=" nofollow" href="https://deadline.com/2023/02/squid-game-the-challenge-netflix-cleared-hse-review-1235255581/">Deadline.</a>The show was <a target="_blank" rel=" nofollow" href="https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/squid-game-the-challenge-release-date-news">filmed in the UK</a>.Netflix did not immediately reply to Business Insider's request for comment.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>In 1863, <keyword id="12075073" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="abraham-lincoln" source="Orion">Abraham Lincoln</keyword> enacted a plan to resettle 453 freed Black Americans to a Haitian island.</li><li>Lincoln viewed colonization as a way to free Black Americans — but keep them apart from white society.</li></ul>On New Year's Eve 1862, a day before he issued the Emancipation Proclamation to end slavery in America, President Abraham Lincoln signed a contract agreeing to relocate 5,000 free Black Americans to the Caribbean.Lincoln had long been a staunch supporter of colonization, the state-sponsored emigration and resettlement of freed Black Americans outside America. Colonization was widely supported throughout the antebellum United States for religious, economic, and social reasons. Lincoln saw it as a remedy for emancipated Black Americans, <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=Y0lYrBYSOAQC&amp;pg=PT291&amp;lpg=PT291&amp;dq=in+restoring+a+captive+people+to+their+long-lost+father-land,+with+bright+prospects+for+the+future&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=PyGntDk_UA&amp;sig=ACfU3U2wRgVP-t4TddPLGlP9-NPVuYpLOQ&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiVsJW9n4j5AhXFrIkEHbIyDYMQ6AF6BAgCEAM#v=onepage&amp;q=in%20restoring%20a%20captive%20people%20to%20their%20long-lost%20father-land%2C%20with%20bright%20prospects%20for%20the%20future&amp;f=false">expressing</a> hope that they would find justice "in restoring a captive people to their long-lost father-land, with bright prospects for the future."Colonization was also seen by some politicians as a pragmatic solution for a country still embroiled in a civil war: It would satisfy those in the Confederate South who opposed emancipation and living alongside freed Black Americans.In his second annual message to Congress on December 1, 1862, Lincoln summoned the Union to abolish slavery and proposed a constitutional amendment to <a href="https://www.insider.com/annexation-of-santo-domingo-act-ulysses-grant-dominican-republic-2022-7">colonize Black Americans outside the US</a>. He sought plans to realize this vision, and received ones that would establish colonies of emancipated Black people in countries like New Granada and Liberia.When he heard about a plan for a colony on Île à Vache ("Cow Island"), a small island off the coast of Haiti, Lincoln was intrigued. But he had little idea that the endeavor would not only fail catastrophically — leading to the deaths of more than 100 freed Black Americans — but also snuff out his lifelong dream of colonization.<div type="image" title="Postcard honoring president Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865) for his Emancipation Proclamation freeing enslaved people, 1863." height="3741" width="5944" msid="93032561" hostid="261"></div><h2>The Île à Vache plan was the brainchild of a cotton planter</h2>Bernard Kock, an entrepreneur and Florida cotton plantation owner, spied a business opportunity when he visited the 1862 World Fair in London. Impressed by the quality of cotton he saw at the fair, Kock conceived a plan to develop Île à Vache into a cotton farm by sending newly emancipated Black Americans there.<div type="image" title="Bernard Kock's proposal to Abraham Lincoln, Wednesday, October 01, 1862" height="1591" width="1281" msid="93032563" hostid="261"></div>Each family would receive homes, access to hospitals and schools, and be given 16 acres of land and their wages after the completion of four-year work contracts, according to Kock's plan.One month before he signed the Emancipation Proclamation, Lincoln agreed to terms with Kock, which included $600,000 in funds authorized by Congress. Colonization would ultimately be voluntary for those who resettled, but it was strongly encouraged by Lincoln, Kock, and other supporters. Plans for the first government-run colonization were set in motion.<h2>Black and white abolitionists opposed colonization</h2>Lincoln's proposals for colonization faced major opposition from Black and white abolitionist groups."Shame upon the guilty wretches that dare propose, and all that countenance such a proposition," Frederick Douglass <a href="https://diplomacy.state.gov/u-s-diplomacy-stories/the-diplomatic-career-of-frederick-douglass/">wrote</a> in his newspaper "The North Star" in 1849. "We live here — have lived here — have a right to live here, and mean to live here."William Loyd Garrison, a prominent white abolitionist and journalist, <a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/273703">denounced</a> the plans as "puerile, absurd, illogical, impertinent, and untimely."Animosity reached a fever pitch on August 14, 1862, when Lincoln met with a committee of five Black leaders at the White House."You and we are different races. We have between us a broader difference than exists between almost any other two races," Lincoln <a href="https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/abs/lincoln/address-on-colonization-to-a-committee-of-colored-men/8B18F5967ED438E96FD018E880C2FFDD#:~:text=Wehave%20between%20us%20a%20broader,ours%20suffer%20from%20your%20presence.">told</a> them, only sparking further outcry and rebuke from opponents.<h2>The Île à Vache experiment quickly proved to be disastrous </h2>There were early red flags with the Île à Vache endeavor. An investigation into Kock in early January suggested he'd used deceptive business practices in prior ventures. The US Commissioner in Haiti also told the Lincoln administration that Kock was an unpopular figure in Port-au-Prince, and that he hadn't heard of any progress in constructing the settlement.Lincoln formally rescinded Kock's contract on April 16, 1863, but it was too late.Two days earlier on April 14, more than 450 Black settlers boarded a ship to Île à Vache, excited to leave former Confederate territory for what they had been told would be a better life.But disaster struck swiftly: A bout of smallpox killed at least 25 settlers at sea. When they arrived on the island, they found no reasonable shelter and had to construct crude huts. Kock, who became the overseer of the island, instituted a strict "no work, no rations" policy that echoed the antebellum era. Disease and starvation quickly followed.The settlers mutinied three months later, and Kock fled the island while the Haitian government dispatched military to maintain order.Finally on February 1, 1864, amid escalating media reports that railed against the project, Lincoln ordered for a naval vessel to rescue the settlers. A month later, a ship carried the 350 surviving emigrants back to America.<div type="image" title="Cartoon of Abraham Lincoln feeding a bedridden Black enslaved man with bowl of emancipation circa 1873." height="4664" width="5661" msid="93032564" hostid="261"></div><h2>The failed experiment had lasting effects on America</h2>The disastrous Île à Vache experiment ultimately put an end to Lincoln's strident advocacy of colonization — one of the Great Emancipator's more controversial legacies."I am glad the President has sloughed off that idea of colonization. I have always thought it a hideous &amp; barbarous humbug," John Hay, Lincoln's personal secretary, <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=AdIYEAAAQBAJ&amp;pg=PT71&amp;lpg=PT71&amp;dq=I+am+glad+the+President+has+sloughed+off+that+idea+of+colonization.+I+have+always+thought+it+a+hideous+%26+barbarous+humbug&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=yyS-Zfh63M&amp;sig=ACfU3U1JuZ-L3VjtudxAKa-EMUnqMb10LQ&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwi2gsnE-4n5AhU_kYkEHZDiAB4Q6AF6BAgCEAM#v=onepage&amp;q=I%20am%20glad%20the%20President%20has%20sloughed%20off%20that%20idea%20of%20colonization.%20I%20have%20always%20thought%20it%20a%20hideous%20%26%20barbarous%20humbug&amp;f=false">wrote</a> in his diary.While Île à Vache was a disastrous failure that led to the deaths of more than 100 freed African Americans, some historians see it as a pivotal moment for American history. After the experiment, Lincoln abandoned his quest for colonization and instead embraced policies of Black inclusion and assimilation."The incident on Île à Vache, while undeniably a tragic and preventable event, proved a retrievable mistake through the negation of an unfeasible and unpopular solution to racial questions, replaced by subsequent transformation toward a more integrated future," Graham Welch, a historian and attorney, <a href="https://cupola.gettysburg.edu/gcjcwe/vol4/iss1/5/">wrote</a>.

In 1863, Abraham Lincoln relocated 453 freed Black Americans to a Haitian island as a part of an 'experiment.' The plan failed catastrophically.

And sold American. That's a tobacco auctioneer.Narrator: John works for Christie's. Founded in London in 1766, it's the largest auction house in the world and now has offices in 46 different countries. But in John's posh world of art dealings, selling to the highest bidder sounds a bit different.Hays: An art auctioneer may say,$240, sir, thank you, sir, $240, $260, $260, at $200, $280, thank you, $280, and $300, thank you, $300, is that all? Selling then for $300, for $300, sold. Two very different approaches.Narrator: John has worked more than 500 auctions in his 36-year career, bringing in about $1 billion in sales.

Up to 40 applicants are accepted, but only two or three will move on to private instruction afterwards.Hays: I did the Christie's program in London and got my master's certificate there, and then I did every internship known to man in the art world. I knocked on Christie's' door 36 years ago, and they hired me in the American department in October of 1983.Narrator: Most auctioneers have a background in art history and an area of expertise. John's is 18 th-century American art. But since he sells everything from cars to jewelry to wine, he has to do his homework before he ever gets up on that auction block. We caught up with John at Christie's in New York City before an auction of 18th-century European decorative arts.Hays: We're in Christie's' warehouse looking at a Roman micromosaic table. This object is one of the exciting pieces that's coming up. Micromosaic tables are a thrill to me. I like to call them Roman holidays because here you see depictions of ancient Rome. The estimate is $50 to $80,000 dollars.Narrator: The weeks leading up to an auction, John will visit the Christie's warehouse to become familiar with each piece.Hays: You want to have some understanding of the material. You want to be able to know who the artists are. You certainly want to be able to pronounce the names correctly.Narrator: While John's doing his prep work, all the art is photographed and then set up in the gallery for prospective buyers to come check out the goods. Then on the morning of the auction, John comes here to the bids office to go over the auctioneer's book. This is essentially his bible of auction secrets. It tells him a couple things: who has already put in bids for Christie's, the estimated sale price for each item, if the seller has set a minimum sale price or reserve price, who will be bidding on the phone or in person, and the general interest in each lot. But even with all this preparation, when John steps out on that podium in a Christie's-approved colorful bow tie, anything can happen.Hays: An auctioneer puts himself or herself out there in a way that's very public. It's not for everybody because if something goes wrong, you have to have the coolness of a airplane pilot, you have to have the humor of a standup comedian, you also have to be serious, and this is serious stuff for many people who are depending upon the auctioneer to deliver a very high-level, a high-quality sale.Narrator: First, a lot is introduced.Hays: Right along to lot 55, ladies and gentlemen.Narrator: A lot is an item or a group of items that are up for auction. Each lot has a number. John will read off that number and give a brief summary of the items.Hays: 55, the early George III giltwood mirror.Narrator: Then the first bid gets the ball rolling. Sometimes it's on the auctioneer's book from an absentee bidder.Hays: And we can start the bidding here anywhere, $10,000, bid at $10,000.Narrator: John states the price to beat, who's holding the bid, and the price needed to steal the auction item.Hays: For $10,000, $11,000, $12,000, $13,000, at $13,000, in at $13.Narrator: Typically, the price increments go up by 10%, but it's up to John to alter those depending on energy in the room. Bids come in over the phone, online, or, of course, by paddles peeking up from the crowd in the sale room. Sometimes this process takes hours, and John says that a good auctioneer's voice falls into a cadence.Hays: At $16,000 on the phone now, $16, coming in $17,000, at the back of the room at $17,000, $18,000 back to India.Narrator: A speaking rhythm that comfortably carries through the entire auction. It's on each auctioneer to develop their style and learn to find their pacing.Hays: Christie's does have a very unique style. We're selling works of art. It's perhaps a little bit pompous from time to time, but down deep it's the same process as auctioneering cows at a farm or thoroughbreds. The nature of different auctions has acquired a different criteria of what the audience expects. So tobacco salesmen who will break into "and now we've got the third lot, and it's the tobacco, and here we are ladies and gentlemen, it's the farm," you know, and you see that chant going through. If they heard a Christie's art auctioneer, I think the audience would be shocked. Sometimes I'll break into a farm auction just for the fun of it in an audience here in New York. It always is good for a laugh.Narrator: Whether it's a room full of tough Texans or New York's art elite, John's goal is to ethically bring in the highest possible price. So how does he nab those sky-high bids?Hays: It's also knowing when to fold your tent and to drop the hammer, so there's two issues. If you hang in there, and you hang in there, and you hang in there, and you wait, you'll lose your audience, and they'll get angry. So it's being able to, at the right time, on the right lots, with the right collectors, and the right audience, being able to go a few more bids, and in this world with million-dollar lots, one bid could be another $100,000. So I think one wants to achieve the highest price but not overdo it.OK, I'm out.Narrator: For an hour and a half, John masterfully guides the vibe of the saleroom. His gestures command attention. His moments of silence hold the room in suspense. His shooting eye contact singles out the newest bidder. But just as easily, he can flip the energy, joking with the audience and addressing phone operators by name. Then when the moment feels right, a swift pound of the gavel rips through the space...Hays: Sold.Narrator: Closing the sale. Just as quickly as it began, the auction is finished: 214 lots down, 185 items sold, $3.3 million in sales.

What it takes to be an art auctioneer at the largest auction house in the world

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image">Peter Nicholls/Reuters</div></div></div>Car industry bosses in the <keyword id="6354868" type="COUNTRY" weightage="60" keywordseo="UK">UK</keyword> are fearful that a lack of a transitional Brexit deal will seriously harm the industry and cause it to "bleed," <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/e428f2b8-c099-11e6-81c2-f57d90f6741a">according to a report in the Financial Times, which cites numerous industry bosses.</a>As part of a series of meetings with senior figures from Britain's most important industries, Brexit secretary David Davis held a summit with auto-industry bosses on Monday, and reports from inside the meeting suggest that the industry is fearful of what a cliff edge Brexit - one without a transitional deal - means for their sector.Should Britain fail to complete a deal in the two years between triggering Article 50 and formally exiting the EU, Britain would most likely automatically revert to being subject to World Trade Organisation rules. That could mean a tariff of as much as 10% put on cars imported into the UK from Europe.In November, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) said <a href="http://uk.businessinsider.com/smmt-head-brexit-could-add-1500-to-the-cost-of-european-cars-2016-11">t</a><a href="http://uk.businessinsider.com/smmt-head-brexit-could-add-1500-to-the-cost-of-european-cars-2016-11">he price of cars like Fiats and Peugeots could jump by as much as £1,500 ($1,871) </a>unless a<a href="http://uk.businessinsider.com/smmt-head-brexit-could-add-1500-to-the-cost-of-european-cars-2016-11"> </a>favourable<a href="http://uk.businessinsider.com/smmt-head-brexit-could-add-1500-to-the-cost-of-european-cars-2016-11"> trade deal is worked out post-Brexit.</a><a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2016/11/29/warning-1500-price-rise-imported-cars-no-eu-trade-deal-reached/">The Telegraph reported</a> that SMMT president Gareth Jones made the prediction at the society's annual dinner, forecasting a potential cost to the industry of £4.5 billion.This prospect is giving the industry's most senior people sleepless nights. According to the FT's report of the meeting, one executive said: "It may be fine in the long run but we can't manage 10 per cent and we will bleed in the many years that we're paying it."They then added that any benefits coming from Brexit will "be in the medium to long term."The meeting was described by the SMMT as a roundtable discussion, and was attended by Nick Hurd, a minister from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, and John Hayes from the Department for Transport. Executives from Jaguar Land Rover, Nissan, Honda, Ford, Vauxhall, McLaren, Aston Martin and BMW were all present at the meeting, as were staff from JCB and Caterpillar."Being part of the single market has helped make the UK automotive sector amongst the most competitive in the world and a critical part of the UK economy. It is essential that we maintain those benefits and we will work with government and our partners in Europe to ensure the global success of our sector continues in the future," SMMT Chief Executive Mike Hawes <a href="https://www.smmt.co.uk/2016/12/david-davis-secretary-of-state-for-exiting-the-european-union-and-dft-and-beis-ministers-host-roundtable-with-smmt-and-automotive-leaders/">said in a statement released after the meeting.</a>There is an increasing divide within the government about the prospect of a transitional deal before Britain fully leaves the EU. <a href="http://uk.businessinsider.com/philip-hammond-says-britain-will-need-a-transition-deal-before-brexit-2016-12">Chancellor Philip Hammond reportedly backs such a deal, saying on Monday:</a> "The further we go into this discussion, the more likely it is that we will mutually conclude that we need a longer period to deliver."However, two of the government's three senior Brexiteers, Davis and trade secretary Liam Fox, do not want a transitional deal, with <a href="http://uk.businessinsider.com/philip-hammond-david-davis-city-of-london-brexit-deal-transition-financial-passport-2016-12">Davis saying last week that he was "not really interested" in any adjustment period.</a>Davis reportedly struck a similar tone with auto industry bosses on Monday, with one telling the FT that ministers at the meeting were "very non-committal - they were in listening mode." During the meeting, Davis is believed to have said that he favours a "data driven" Brexit that is "calm and orderly," while also asking for "quantification" about the risks facing the car industry.In October, Theresa May convinced Japanese car manufacturer Nissan to keep and even increase its manufacturing presence in Sunderland, with <a href="http://uk.businessinsider.com/what-did-the-government-promise-nissan-2016-10">speculation she promised to insulate the car manufacturer from any effects of Brexit.</a> However, <a href="http://uk.businessinsider.com/carlos-ghosn-nissan-brexit-deal-black-box-theresa-may-2016-11">neither side has disclosed the details of the deal.</a> <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/watch-expert-benjamin-clymer-affordable-brands-2016-12">These are the best watches for under $400</a></h3> <div> <div> <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="ltMmg1ODE6TnTu_A6B-GjUj6GQrIybCB" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div> </div> </div> </div>

The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development trimmed its 2016 global growth forecast by 0.3% to 3%. According to AFP, the OECD attributed the change to recent weakness in economic data, lackluster demand, disappointing investment, and the "substantial" risk for financial instability.<a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/inflation-data-good-news-for-china-2016-2">China's inflation ticked up</a>. China's CPI accelerated 1.8% year-over-year in January, making for the fastest annual acceleration since August. Despite the jump from December's 1.6% gain, the number fell a tad short of the 1.9% advance that was expected. Stripping out the volatile food and energy components prices rose 1.2% YoY, the fastest since June. Meanwhile, PPI posted a 5.3% YoY drop versus expectations of a 5.4% decline. Producer prices in China have fallen for 47 consecutive months. The Chinese yuan strengthened 0.2% to 6.5162 per barrel.<a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/japanese-exports-crater-2016-2">Japanese exports plunged</a>. Data from Japan's Ministry of Finance showed January exports cratered 12.9% versus last year, making for the steepest annual drop in exports since October 2009. Weakness in the Chinese economy was apparent in the numbers as Japan's exports to the Middle Kingdom tumbled 17.5%. YoY. Meanwhile, exports to the US fell 5.3% from a year ago. The Japanese yen is stronger by 0.3% at 113.80.<a href="http://www.bi.go.id/en/ruang-media/siaran-pers/Pages/sp_181416.aspx">Indonesia cut rates</a>. Bank Indonesia cut its key interest rate 25 basis points to 7.00% at Thursday's meeting. The central bank noted the global economy is "expected to remain weak," but that risks related to the fed funds rate have eased. Notable were comments about the recent strength of Indonesia's currency, the rupiah, which appreciated 6.3% versus the dollar in the fourth quarter alone. Bank Indonesia said it will "always maintain exchange rate stability in line with the currency's fundamental value."<a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/deutsche-bank-report-on-commodities-says-venezuela-needs-200-oil-to-balance-its-budget-2016-2?r=UK&amp;IR=T">It's going to take a miracle for Venezuela to balance its budget</a>. Venezuela's economy has been crashing along with the price of oil as it relies on its inefficient oil-producing infrastructure. According to the Washington Post, Venezuela's currency, the bolívar, has lost 93% of its value on the black market over the past two years. Now, a report from Deutsche Bank says balancing Venezuela's budget "requires oil closer to $200 than $100." The cash-strapped country joined Saudi Arabia and Russia in freezing oil production earlier this week, but Deutsche Bank says the freeze will take time to have an effect and likely won't be enough to help Venezuela.<a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-02-18/starboard-said-to-take-initial-steps-for-proxy-battle-with-yahoo">Yahoo might see a proxy fight</a>. People familiar with the matter told Bloomberg, Starboard Value LP is beginning to take steps towards a proxy fight with Yahoo. The fund is said to be unhappy with the way Yahoo is going about streamlining its business and its pledge to sell assets. According to Bloomberg, "A successful proxy fight requires a shareholder to persuade other investors to vote in favor of proposed changes." In the case of Starboard, this would mean a new board of directors. <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/r-amex-to-overhaul-management-cut-jobs-2016-2">American Express is cutting costs</a>. AmEx says it will streamline marketing jobs and cut costs to save $1 billion over the next two years, according to Reuters. As part of the reorganization, Chief Marketing Officer John Hayes will leave AmEx after more than 20 years with the firm while Mike McCormack will take charge of its soon to be created global marketing operations unit. "At this time, we do not know what the magnitude of those reductions will be, as decisions on specific positions affected are yet to be made," CEO Kenneth Chenault said.Stock markets around the world are higher.

10 things you need to know before the opening bell

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image">AP Photo/Jacquelyn MartinHouse Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy of Calif., pauses as he speaks about foreign policy during the John Hay Initiative, Monday, Sept. 28,2015, at a hotel in Washington.</div></div></div>House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, the front-runner to succeed John Boehner as the next speaker, suddenly pulled out of the race on Thursday, the same day he was expected to be formally nominated for the position.In a development that collectively stunned Washington, McCarthy made the announcement at a House Republican caucus meeting in which he was largely expected to gather the votes to win the GOP nomination for speaker.Leadership elections have been postponed indefinitely, throwing the House Republican caucus into chaos on the eve of looming deadlines and cliffs."Over the last week it has become clear to me that our Conference is deeply divided and needs to unite behind one leader. I have always put this Conference ahead of myself. Therefore I am withdrawing my candidacy for Speaker of the House," McCarthy said in a statement. "I look forward to working alongside my colleagues to help move our Conference's agenda and our country forward."Even McCarthy's fellow Republican lawmakers seemed completely shocked by the sudden reversal. At 8 a.m., they said, he made his pitch and urged his colleagues to vote for him as speaker. By 12:15 p.m. in Washington, he was dropping out of the race."The room was stunned as McCarthy announced he is 'not the right one' to lead the conference. At 8am he was at a forum making his pitch," tweeted Rep. Bill Huizenga (R-Michigan)."Kevin McCarthy withdrew from the race," Rep. Charlie Dent (R-Pennsylvania) said in a CNN interview, explaining that McCarthy didn't think he could unify the conference.The new developments could potentially throw the House into more potential chaos and uncertainty with two key deadlines looming: The federal Highway Trust Fund, which funds numerous construction projects across the country, is set to lapse on October 29. And the Treasury Department <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/debt-ceiling-deadline-nov-5-2015-10" target="_blank">told Congress last week</a> that Congress needs to raise the nation's debt ceiling by November 5 to avoid a potential default on its obligations."The utter chaos of the Republican party must not threaten the full faith and credit of the United States and the American people," Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) said in a statement.McCarthy was seen as likely to earn the Republican nomination for speaker on Thursday, despite a tumultuous past week that found him taking fire from both sides of the political aisle.McCarthy was facing off against Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), the chair of the powerful House Oversight Committee, and Rep. Daniel Webster (R-Florida), the upstart candidate preferred by an influential group of House conservatives. But he was expected to easily defeat both rivals.His sudden exit throws the process into disarray, as there is no heir apparent to the position. Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin), the chair of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee whose name has been floated for the position, was quick to issue a statement saying he would not throw his hat into the ring."Kevin McCarthy is best person to lead the House, and so I'm disappointed in this decision. Now it is important that we, as a Conference, take time to deliberate and seek new candidates for the speakership. While I am grateful for the encouragement I've received, I will not be a candidate," Ryan said in the statement.<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">APJohn Boehner (background) and Kevin McCarthy.</div></div></div>McCarthy had come under fire by both Democrats and members of his own party after <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/kevin-mccarthy-benghazi-hillary-clinton-democrats" target="_blank">he suggested in an interview</a> that the House's select committee investigating the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi had helped bring down former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's poll numbers.Clinton is now the Democratic front-runner for president, and she and her team have long charged the committee's investigation was a partisan attempt to bring down her candidacy.<div id=":1qr" class="kf"><div chat-dir="t" class="km" role="chatMessage" aria-live="assertive">Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-South Carolina), a prominent member of the so-called House Freedom Caucus, told CNN that McCarthy may have withdrawn because of those comments. McCarthy himself, at a press conference shortly after he announced he would drop out of the race, admitted those comments weren't "helpful.""That wasn't helpful," he said with a laugh. "I could have said it much better but this Benghazi committee was only created for one purpose: to find the truth. … I should not be a distraction from that, and that's part of the decision as well."</div></div>McCarthy suffered another blow on Wednesday, when the influential 40-plus member "House Freedom Caucus" - the group of hard-line conservatives that frequently bucked Boehner in key votes - said it would endorse Webster for speaker.<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">AP Photo/Cliff OwenIn this April 29, 2015 file photo, House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah is seen on Capitol Hill in Washington. Chaffetz criticized what he calls </div></div></div>Chaffetz had said he'd support the nominee that came out of Thursday's vote. But members of the Freedom Caucus are less predictable. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), the group's leader, said in a statement that the group has "every intention of voting together tomorrow and on the House floor.""We're very shocked," Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-Kansas), a member of the Freedom Caucus, said after the vote. "Kevin certainly didn't have 218 votes on the floor."It meant that McCarthy would have likely received a majority of Republican votes to become the caucus' nominee for speaker on Thursday. But he needed 218 votes to become speaker on October 29, when the full House was scheduled to vote. If even 30 of the House Freedom Caucus members stuck with their plan, they could have blocked him from becoming speaker or forced him to a multiple-ballot situation.The two leading Republican presidential candidates hailed McCarthy's decision for completely different reasons. Real-estate mogul Donald Trump, the Republican front-runner, wrote on Twitter that McCarthy was insufficiently tough to get the job done. "Great, Kevin McCarthy drops out of SPEAKER race. We need a really smart and really tough person to take over this very important job!" he wrote. Meanwhile, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson said McCarthy was "unselfish" by prioritizing the Republican conference ahead of his own political ambitions. "I say kudos to Rep. McCarthy for putting others before himself," Carson told CNN's Wolf Blitzer. "This is not something we see very often in Washington." <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/barack-obama-donald-trump-insults-white-house-correspondents-dinner-fox-news-2015-8">Obama has been getting the best of Trump for years</a></h3> <div> <div> <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="F5dXY4dzpedDTqGtZWvjQdvLnFUPnk3E" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div> </div> </div> </div>
