Sounds like Jeffries will get more than anyone else this round.  Can't believe there aren't 7 Republicans with the cajones to do what is right and vote for Jeffries.

Oh come on. That would be Republicans without any brains.

I blame the Democrats.

I blame Hunter Biden, Benghazi,  and Obamacare.

22 no votes, up from 20 in spite of gaining 2. 

Bit of a gut punch for Jordan.

Clearly, whatever tactics he employed overnight and into this morning were counter-productive. He has not appeared to be someone who can adjust his tactics in the past. He found something that worked for him and he stuck with it. I do not think he has the ability to zig when zagging does not work.

MAGA is fun right now

MAGA elect McCarthy gets the speakership for the Republicans

MAGA midget Gaetz doesn't like McCarthy so he gets him thrown out

Republicans can't agree on a speaker, even with threats and attempts at bullying politics within the party, because control is starting to slip through MAGA's fingers

So............McCarthy blames democrats the house doesn't have a speaker.

 

This is beautiful.   Hopefully the real 'draining of the swamp' is starting to begin.

It took McCarthy 15 rounds. Empty promises take time.

I wasn't sure if McCarthy ever went backward though, so I looked it up. And he did.

He started with 19 no votes, stayed there for three more rounds before it grew to 21 no votes. That lasted at least through round eight. By round twelve he was down to 7 no votes. Round fourteen got him one shy.

I still think Jordan eventually gets it, but lets hope it goes even more poorly than this!

I have heard a number of republicans say they have one concession they will absolutely not bend on.  He must admit that the election was not stolen, while also denouncing the efforts on Jan 6 to overturn.   That's a pretty big ask of him.
