So with 13 (and probably more) defections, it seems like Jeffries will get a plurality on the first ballot, right?

So, this is what a contested convention looked like.

A contested convention doesn't disrupt the normal functioning of government though.

Unless there are a bunch of vote switchers at the end, it's certain.

McCarthy has now lost 17 votes in total. I suppose the rumours earlier about losing 20 votes weren't unfounded.

Some are trying to suggest other compromise candidates. Some are grandstanding.

Perry is the GOP Rep. in the most marginal seat (Trump +4) to vote for a non-McCarthy speaker so far, followed by Boebert, Crane, and Luna (all are Trump by less than 10 districts).

From what I’ve seen from congressional reporters, the rough plan seems to be to split the anti-Kevin vote, so a new compromise candidate can emerge, and they don’t get stuck with Biggs.
