How many rounds of voting will it take to elect Jim Jordan Speaker of the House?

[WrestlingRasta]

Donalds try to talk something to some ladies on the left, their body language is pretty funny.

[Wrestleknownothing]

Only 427 members present.

214 votes to Speakership.

[VakAttack]

My understanding is he actually can only lose three.

[WrestlingRasta]

Pay no attention to the 'time remaining'   Roll call always extends 15-20 minutes past 00:00.  They will be at 220 and 212 for the vote.

at 432, five R votes for anyone else would be another loss, 8 R votes of 'present' would give Jeffries the gavel.

The call is alphabetical. I started listening in the D's. We are in the F's and there are already 5 no Jordan I have heard.

I must be behind in the feed, McArthy just now speaking.   Is he trying to get Jordan less votes???

After their conference last night one of the republicans came out of it and said the number could grow somewhere between 30-40

Jordan lost more votes, but maybe more intriguing is that 2 D's went against Jeffries.

I think the final total was 25. If he really wants to get it over 30 he will have to hold another meeting.

Edit: have since seen 2 D's were not present.

Went about as expected.  Seemed like McCarthy was trying in vain to win over Democrats.  A stellar example of gross mischaracterization with a straight face.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump is having a #VeryNormal time over on Truth Social.

Is that Rob Ryan on his left? Lost some weight.

Ah, yes, "Christian"nationalism at its best. 

Jesus now stands with criminals and serial violators of the Ten Commandments.

I'm thinking Jordan needs to stop.   When McCarthy did this, he had just a few holdouts and he was the hands on heir apparent.   Jordan isn't.  There is no heir apparent.    It is a unique time in House history that the majority doesn't have a clear leader.

McCarthy won't leave the Speaker's office and gets upset when Gaetz comes and takes a dump in his private bathroom.

That's the Republicans in a nutshell.

[Wrestleknownothing]

Republicans are now taking a secret ballot vote on whether Jordan should remain the speaker designate. The options are yes, no, and present.

I am assuming that he will have many, many fewer yes votes than what he got on the floor in public. But it is unlikely the results will be released. Leaked perhaps, but not officially released.

49 votes to go, prove me wrong.
