It's how it's done. It does take awhile.

Election denialism is costing gop again given so many representatives don't seem to have accepted the election result from the house GOP caucus that clearly resulted in McCarthy winning

I'm boarding a flight in about an hour from Boston to Reagan National. From there I'll get a flight to O'Hare. What are the chances that McCarthy will be speaker when I land in DC at 4 pm?

Pretty sure the next Speaker will either be Biggs at this point, or we'll have a hung Speakership for the entire Congress.

The Freedom Caucus is going to reject any Republican that isn't Biggs.

Assuming no Democrats vote present, McCarthy can only afford to lose one more vote.

Someone voted for Banks. Didn't hear who. McCarthy can't lose anymore votes.

Not how it works, you need a majority of votes cast.
