House Speaker Contest

Two of the never-Kevins just voted for McCarthy.

Ritual disembowelment?

Some votes are moving over.

Looking like Kevin may have it this time. :very sad face:

What, never?

No, never!

What, never?

Hardly ever!

He’s hardly ever Mc - Car - thy!

Four have switched so far.

Donalds voted for McCarthy.

Gaetz went for Jordan - four Not Kevins so far…

OK 5 non-McCarthy’s already so this vote isn’t it.

All of the crossover votes look constipated and a bit nauseated when the cameras linger on them as they change their votes to McCarthy. They appear to be pretty unhappy with the choice they’ve made.

And now Good of Virginia votes No, so McCarthy will have to wait for another round.

Does that math change with the absences today?

He has lost 5. Now waiting for the vote total of vote by name. I don’t believe he will top Jeffries in votes.

I’m not going to try to read the whole thread. I’m just wondering what would happen if they elected someone who doesn’t want the job.

A few grandstanders, even at this late stage. It’s nice you support BLM, guy, but just say the name and shut up.

He may get more that Jeffries this time, but it’s not good enough.

I’m surprised Goldman of NY wasn’t there.

Goldman may be there. They always run through the missing votes at the end and give a second chance.

Oh, thanks, I didn’t realize that.

It is if they adopt a resolution to go with plurality.
