Guess it’s time for some backroom deals.
Kevin McCarthy needed 218 votes to become Speaker of the House. He could only lose four Republican votes.
We all knew five Republicans vowed not to vote for McCarthy. We heard about a few more who were on the fence. On Tuesday morning, Rep. Lauren Boebert said she would not vote for McCarthy, bringing the number to six.The House went through three roundsThe Democrats nominated election denier Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries in all three rounds. Reps. Elise Stefanik, Jim Jordan, and Steve Scalise nominated McCarthy in each round.
Rep. Paul Gosar nominated Andy Biggs in the first round. Rep. Matt Gaetz nominated Jordan in the second round. Rep. Chip Roy nominated Jordan in the third round. Yes, Jordan received a nomination right after he nominated McCarthy. Jordan said he didn’t want the job.B) Biggs , Bishop , Clyde , Crane , Gaetz , Good , Gosar , Norman , Perry , Rosendale , Boebert , Cloud , Luna , Miller , Ogles , Self , Brecheen , Harris , Roy B) Donalds: We know when we know we have somebody prepared to get 218. But it it's not it's not Kevin McCarthy right now. And quite frankly, that's not like it's anybody. So we should not be on the floor voting.
