Those two additional guys won't get him over the top.
Pelosi is stammering and shaking trying to do basic math.

I would like to see the remaining 6 vote for Jeffries. Burn down the Republican party. They are all frauds.

You don't understand politics at all.
Trump has endorsed McCarthy for 2 reasons:
1. Trump knows McCarthy will win.
2. McCarthy got Trump to fall for the trick Trump always falls for.....arse kissing.
McCarthy has played nice to Trump because he needed Trump.
Once Speaker, McCarthy will cut Trump loose so fast it will make your head spin.
He's going to sound like McConnell.
McCarthy is not MAGA, he's 100% anti Trump.
Remember this post when it happens.
Trump will be truthing/tweeting that McCarthy is a disloyal dummy by June if not sooner.

Yep. And then Trump will get on social media and act like he didn't know this would happen.

Scalise looks like he is having a pretty serious discussion with McCarty.

Round 13 Summary
432 House members voted
214 Kevin McCarthy (R-CA)
212 Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY)
6 Jim Jordan (R-OH)
217 needed to secure the SOTH
**REMINDER:
The following two Republicans are not in attendance:
Wesley Hunt (R-TX) - wife gave birth yesterday
Ken Buck (R-CO) - funeral/mother passed away
Apparently the McCarthy team is hoping one or both will return today to vote. With the Buck funeral scheduled for this weekend, I don’t see him returning. Hunt is certainly a possibility.

Unfortunately the majority of those in DC could give a rats arse about the actual people of this country.

Mike Davis told Bannon on the first day there was 6 that were never ever going to vote for McCarthy.

I don't want McCarthy as Speaker. I had hoped that he would start losing support when it was clear he doesn't have the votes. That's not happening. The 20 holdouts had a list of concessions they wanted in turn for their support. Apparently, McCarthy has given in to most, if not all, the demands. If the 20 have gotten what they asked for and still don't vote for McCarthy then their credibility is shot. They should have just said we'll never vote for KM. That I could respect. But if he has caved to their demands then let's just get this over with and vote him SOTH. They now have some leverage should he not live up to his promises.

Some did, including at least one who has now voted for him.

We need to go back to gun duels!!
Refusing a challenge to duel would effectively end a man’s political career. Dueling proved to a man’s constituents that he had the requisite honor, courage, and leadership to represent them in Washington.
And thus you had governors and legislators, Congressman and judges squaring off not through bumper stickers and robo-calls, but on the field of honor. Here are a few of the most famous of these single combats in American history.
The most famous duel in American history is unquestionably that which occurred between Vice President Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton, who greatly influenced the founding of America’s economy and was possibly on track to become President himself. Burr and Hamilton had long been political enemies by the time they met on the field of honor. Hamilton had been instrumental in preventing Burr from winning the Presidency when Burr tied Thomas Jefferson’s vote count, leading to Burr’s eventual appointment as VP. The two men continued to square off politically until rumors that Hamilton had been saying “despicable” things about Burr led the slandered veep to issue a formal challenge to duel.
The two men met on the field of honor in Weehawken, New Jersey on the morning of July 11, 1804. Interestingly enough, Hamilton’s son had fallen to a mortal blow in a duel at the very same place just two years before. The same guns used in his duel were also used in his father’s.
The accounts of precisely what happened are conflicting, but it is generally thought that Hamilton fired first, aiming high and missing Burr completely. Burr then aimed squarely at Hamilton’s torso and returned fire. Hamilton fell, the bullet lodged in his spine, and he died the following morning.
Whether Hamilton’s miss was intentional or not is debatable. Hamilton had recorded in a letter the previous night that he intended to purposefully miss Burr in an effort to end the confrontation without bloodshed. Still, other believe that Hamilton so detested Burr that he shared this sentiment simply to paint Burr as the villainous shedder of innocent blood, thus forever besmirching his character.
If that truly was his wish, it was certainly granted. Though murder charges were levied against Burr, he was never brought to trial. But the ensuing political fallout undermined Burr’s political clout and brought a swift end to his career.

3. Special Counsel Jack Smith
Of course Kev will flip just like DeSantis lost the copied MAGA overnight. Just like Paul Ryan showed his true colors, and so on...
But I don't think Trump has a choice. He was most likely told that the Special Counsel of Jack Smith's gas-lighting can be controlled by Kevin. And any other Speaker won't curb Jack Smith off like Kevin can...
Remember the nitwit MTG said Kevin can cut Jack Smith's funding off? It is BS. And when it is over Kevin won't do anything to stop Jack Smith. He will say "ongoing investigation" he can't cut funding
But Trump couldn't risk it. And yes, Trump is a dumbass to fall for their flattery & cheap words. And I would bet was told that anyone BUT KEVIN will be dangerous and like Paul Ryan.
