LOL, they are going to be forced to continue tonight

The Dems should. I’d be pissed if you made me stick around for 4hrs to come back and then say adjourn until tomorrow.

Bolling on Newsmax saying that McCarthy has given consolations to the 20, and that the next vote will be closer to the 218.

Motion to adjourn vote, electronically.

Kevin didn't get the negotiating he needs to do---- done? Because he isn't negotiating?

I have a feeling that Kevin is smug with the power of the establishment and Hannity's stupid show.

What’s to stop McCarthy from back out on them… He promises consolations, gets the votes, then doesn’t honor.

Only one nay so far on the Republican side. Looks like they might let ‘em off the hook for tonight

That looks bad if you're rooting for the 20.

Not if it’s because McCarthy is giving them the concessions they want.

Worth it to get the useless fricks out of power.

If the rules in place allow a revote on Speaker with a certain threshold of petitioners, he is limited in how much he can screw them.

It would mean he has to keep 218 votes in his pocket.

Probably closer to 99%. How many Americans could name the Speaker of the House on any given day? Or even know what that position entails?

Looks like they are going to adjourn.

They should lock these people in the room like the Conclave until we see white smoke coming from the top of the Capitol Building
