McCarthy loses Speaker vote 3 times…

[foszoe]

Looks like 14 is gonna do it.

 

[bwframe]

They are saying this one is gonna make it? People whined and fussed, but we made some great headway into fixing the way the stupid House works.

Boebert just voted "present". This is over now...

 

[Super Bee]

Halfway through.

He has lost 4 so far.

 

[Super Bee]

Still lost 4.

 

[Super Bee]

Just 1 vote shy. Holding the vote open to see if they can get someone change their vote.

 

[Sigblitz]

Still not speaker

 

[Super Bee]

Came up short again.

 

[Sigblitz]

Next vote

 

[Ingomike]

Came up short again.

Whooped ‘‘em again Josie…

 

[Super Bee]

Going into round 15.

 

[ditcherman]

So he negotiated, thought he flipped 5 but 4 went back? Or am I misunderstanding that?

 

[Sigblitz]

Not going to get it done

 

[Sigblitz]

4 present, not sure if anyone voted other
We'll see

 

[bwframe]

Rumor is that they are not going to vote for the rules package this morning, but will swear in the newbies.

 

[Sigblitz]

Looks like not again, hope they adjourned until Monday

 

[bwframe]

4 present, not sure if anyone voted other
We'll see

Two of the others voters switched to present this time. That should do it for McCarthy.

 

[Sigblitz]

I don't have a score board, hard to keep track, doesn't look good

 

[Sigblitz]

I count 5 present, one vote can sink him

 

[Sigblitz]

He won

McCarthy is speaker. Hopefully of a MUCH better House.
