Rep Bob Good (R-VA) says a surprise America First candidate will be on the ballot for House Speaker tomorrow

[GhostOfMatchesMalone]

12th vote is final, McCarthy is now the leading vote-getter:

McCarthy - 214
Jeffries - 211
Hern - 3
Jordan - 4

@nail1988 mentioned Bush had to go back home, that's one McCarthy vote, and one vote for Jeffries didn't vote.

McCarthy needs to pick up 4 more from the 7 FC holdouts. Looks very possible to happen today now. Andy Biggs, Gaetz and Boebert are among the holdouts.

I'm sure they will want to go right into the 13th vote.

But this what drives you really crazy. Jordan has openly said, I don't want it, so why do members keep voting for him?????

 

[GhostOfMatchesMalone]

So we will apparently only have 432 voting today, both McCarthy and Jeffries lose a vote.

So McCarthy now needs 217 to win. He needs 3 more FC defections.

BTW CSpan said one of the concessions McCarthy is giving the FC is they will get 3 members on the Rules Committee. The FC will select one of its members and McCarthy will pick the other 2.

He won’t get the 4 knucklehead hardliners but he should get the others

 

[GhostOfMatchesMalone]

Vote for 12th time is official:

McCarthy - 213
Jeffries - 211
Jordan - 4
Hern - 3

Trone, who missed the first vote and who voted for Jeffries previously, is reported by CNN (so consider the source) to be voting in the next round.

If so, that gets McCarthy back up to needing 218 votes. That means he needs 5 of the remaining 7 holdouts.

Not sure he will get that today.

 

[GhostOfMatchesMalone]

13th vote is about to start, McCarthy and Jeffries are the only nominees.

 

[RayGravesGhost]

What are you talking about?
5 "others" have already been voted for on this round

 

[GhostOfMatchesMalone]

13th vote is done:

McCarthy - 214
Jeffries - 212
Others - 6

Trone returned to vote for Jeffries. McCarthy picked up another FC defector. Buck still not there to vote for McCarthy.

Without Buck there, it's tough to see McCarthy getting to 218. They are working to get him and another McCarthy voter back in town by tonight.

 

[BCSpell]

Its their job to be there for votes.

 

[GhostOfMatchesMalone]

Its their job to be there for votes.

Buck is in CO and at the doctor. No clue who the other person is, they may have a legitimate reason for not being there.

 

[GhostOfMatchesMalone]

They adjourned till tonight at 10pm EST. They must think they can get the last 2 McCarthy votes in and that would give McCarthy 218 if he can hold onto everyone else.

Chip Roy said on levin McCarthy will have the votes tonight. He said he was very pleased with the rules package / changes and other things they wanted. They are getting it inked and in writing.

 

[GhostOfMatchesMalone]

House is back in session, 14th vote, and possibly final one, is about to start.

McCarthy and Jeffries nominated for Speaker.

EDIT: Those are the only two nominees. Voting is underway.

McCarthy needed this intervention to let him know what side his bread is buttered. So sorry Gay Ray, you are NOT going to like the results of this. 😂

I dunno if I'd be saying too much about what RINO McCarthy will do LOL Putting our faith in RINOs usually doesn't work out for us.

I think he realizes the errors of his ways by now. If not, the curb is right around the corner in 24 as far as speakership.

 

[GhostOfMatchesMalone]

Biggs votes for Jordan, Boebert changes her vote to Present.

Buck doesn't vote. So that might mean McCarthy doesn't have the numbers.

One of the other FC holdouts votes for Biggs. I don't think McCarthy has the votes.

Gaetz misses the vote.

Goodin of Texas (?) votes for Jordan.

McCarthy now needs all the votes he had previously gotten, as well as any remaining FC holdouts, Gaetz, and Buck.

It's not happening with this vote.

Hunt has shown up, so he will be voting for McCarthy from now on.

Another vote for Biggs, that's 5 votes for Others/Present, so McCarthy still doesn't have the numbers.

Now we wait to see when the 15th vote happens.

Buck is now on the floor.

Buck is now on the floor.

I thought that was Hunt that showed up? Are Buck and Hunt both there?

EDIT: It's Hunt. Buck may be there but they haven't shown him that I've seen.

And we end the voting with a near brawl LMAO! A McCarthy guy is talking to Gaetz. then McCarthy walks up to Gaetz, Gaetz starts yapping and pointing and THEN.....Bubba arrives. And whoever Bubba is, he gets in Gaetz face and charges him. Has to be pulled back.

This is embarrassing. Yall tell me more about Trump being the one that doesn't act Presidential.

Gaetz on Hannity called McCarthy speaker elect and said he couldn’t think of anything more he could ask for. Lying POS

Boerbert was also all in on Hannity and was elated. WTF

 

[ghost_of_ukalum1988]

Didn’t think the “present” votes counted (?); I was assuming a majority of 432.

Gaetz just comes across as a preppy prick. It's hard to like him even though I like a lot of his stances.

 

[GhostOfMatchesMalone]

You may be right, but I haven't heard them say anything about lowering number because of them and we've had present votes every day.

 

[nail1988]

they said the last 3 speakers where voted in with less than 218

I think they got the votes now. Gaetez now getting chummy with McCarthy

 

[GhostOfMatchesMalone]

So suddenly everyone is changing their vote to keep voting, Gaetz is fist bumping everyone. Looks like a deal got struck and the next vote will likely be it.

I'll call it now: If he doesn't get it on this vote there will be a legit fight on the floor LOL

I'll say this now. McCarthy knows where his bread is buttered now. Business as usual ain't working. If he doesn't do the will of the GOP House he will likely be removed. Not sure he was a swamp rat but plenty of members of the House did. The Dimtards are laughable. Hakeem Abudul Dismuslimbable? 😂

 

[ghost_of_ukalum1988]

Man, Steny Hoyer is a fossil.

That nominating speech for Jeffries was absurd.

 

[GhostOfMatchesMalone]

And it turns out Bubba was a Rep Rogers from the great state of AAAALLLABAMA!

Gay Ray couldn't have done a better job of plagiarizing something from Mr Roger's playtime channel. 😂

I think you're right. I saw someone else saying same thing.

Biggs changed to “present”. I would say McCarthy gets it this time.

 

[GhostOfMatchesMalone]

If anyone hears anything about what concessions McCarthy offered Gaetz and FC there at the end, please post here.
