Another vote for Jordan. Not sure who. 19 votes against McCarthy now.


Keith Self, TX-03, I believe.

Looks like Jeffries has the unanimous support of the Democratic Caucus, but someone is missing.

It'll be Biggs. Why would the Freedom Caucus accept anyone else?

Aren't they only at 432? Why'd they stop?

It looks like two votes are missing, one on each side.

2 of 434 are not called/recorded according to the CSPAN tracker.

McEachin.

I was counting to 434, not 435. The tally shows 432 though.

He lost his primary because he didn't hate immigrants enough. So probably not so good.

2 didn't vote, I don't know who. There should be 434 votes, and there are only 432. 211-202-19 = 432

He failed on the first ballot.  What happens next remains to be seen.

The vote just finished.

Pelosi must be having a good time today. All of the fun and none of the responsibility, haha.

Well, that’s a little history made already. First time a Speaker hasn’t been elected on the first ballot in a century. Guess we’ll see what happens next…
