Self for Jordan. None of the 19 Republicans that voted against McCarthy in the first vote changed their vote in favor of him in the second vote.

I suppose the question now is whether this goes longer than the nine votes in 1923.

McCarthy is probably losing votes the next go around



Just how obviously uncomfortable McCarthy looks every single time the camera looks at him, tells me everything.

Why is Jimmy Gomez bringing his baby? His wife would still be at home and I'd think a Congressman could get a babysitter.
Because members are sworn in after the speaker is elected. Members bring their families for when they're sworn in and take photos.

Spartz is interesting because she was born in Ukraine and the leadership's position of aid for that country could be a motivating factor. A Freedom Caucus Speaker would be worse than McCarthy on Ukraine, but both are not great—pushing her to vote present.

Jake Tapper on CNN was theorizing that she might have changed her vote to shore up her conservative credentials for a Senate run, where in Indiana the Republican primary would be more competitive than than the general election.

Kevin, there's one way left to become speaker tonight, and it will make no difference whatsoever in how the House operates. And you'll also go down in history as someone willing to do the right thing.



Dems might as well ask for 52 states.

They could pretty easily force a vote anyway. We'll find out in a few minutes!

Quote from: Quetta on January 04, 2023, 07:48:52 PM

Why not Jair's kindred spirit Rodrigo Duterte? He has just as much downtime as Bolsonaro right now, plus unlike Brazil, the Philippines used to be a US American colony.

Duterte is nominally left-wing. He's just popular on the authoritarian right because they like cruelty.

Dems should force a vote imo, if only because McCarthy told CNN he doesn't want a vote tonight.

216 for adjourning 214 against. 2R and 2D non voting. Those Democrats should be thrown out of the caucus.
