I think he voted for
Since they are throwing essentially random names out at this point, I’m a little surprised someone hasn’t nominated McHenry, as a kind of symbolic nod to the idea of giving him temporary powers that’s been floating around.
Miller-Meeks voted for someone named Granger. That’s 3 new voted against Jordan, i believe, and one who moved back to Jordan.
I don’t know. We’ll find out after.
I’m just following along with the NYT. Here’s what they said:
The vote by John James of Michigan was for Candice Miller, a former House member from Michigan who now serves in local office. She got in trouble with the Ethics Committee over pressuring a fellow member on the Medicare prescription drug vote. Definitely a throwback reference.
It looks like Payne isn’t there. He was the NV from earlier, as noted up thread.
Good grief. I think they are one step above Animal House, but only one.
Looks like the Republicans are suffering from Electile Dysfunction.
(why yes, I did just make that up and wanted to share it)
The vote is not over yet, so I fear your pronouncement is… premature.
There have been a couple of votes for McCarthy, but you’re right, no nomination from the floor.
Dems should vote for Hunter Biden.
Just a non-serious proposal - remain somewhat professional and keep going for Jefferies.
jordan has 20 votes against him. just lost another one 21.
Apparently the “status quo” Jim Jordan is trying to end is “having a competent House Speaker who isn’t trying to destroy America”.
The votes for non-members (Boehner, possibly random Public Works Commissioner; Trump when they were doing McCarthy previously, etc.) reflects that you don’t have to be a member to be the Speaker. Has there ever been a non-member Speaker of the House? Would that ever be a realistic possibility these days?
Spartz sure does like waiting until the second call to vote. She did that yesterday, and back in January with McCarthy, too. And then she flipped to Jordan.
So a net loss of one vote
jordan has 22 votes against him. 2 more than yest., couldn’t even break 200.
No, there was a new vote against Jordan somewhere late in the S’s. Voted for someone named Granger, I think. But since the missing member from yesterday was there, you are correct, he is down only 1 vote from yesterday’s total. 4 new No votes, two flips.
The confusion is that there was one extra R there today who was absent yesterday
No, no! His ejaculation is…premature! Missed opportunity!
While I am delighted that Jordan is going to lose another vote, I am surprised that the anti-Jordan bloc is not acting more like a … bloc. Why aren’t they trying to coalesce around an alternate candidate and voting together to send that message?
I guess the answer is: they’re dysfunctional. But still…
