That’ll give McCarthy his W if it’s the Democrats playing hooky.
They can always show up over the next hour though. These stupid roll call votes take forever.

Less Than Half of GOP Voters Want McCarthy as House Speaker
As the House of Representatives prepares for a third day of voting on who will wield the Speaker’s gavel, voters are divided over whether Republican Rep. Kevin McCarthy should get the job.

Just catching up...so many Dems did not show? Is that how McCarthy will win?

Disappointed in John James for agreeing to nominate McCarthy

Mike Johnson sitting right next to McCarthy.

I don’t know the breakdown.
Side note: I’m far more impressed with the freshmen/junior members of Congress than I am with most of the old guard. The gentleman (from Michigan) currently speaking is a breath of fresh air. I don’t agree with his support for McCarthy, but I like the cut of his jib.

Yeah, I was hoping he would come out as an America First firebrand but it appears he's ready to settle in with the establishment.....oh well, at least he's not a flaming progressive.

Louisiana baws rallying around McCarthy.

Regardless of today, he is a star in the making

Just wait till the Democrats cash in on the ducked up deal he made with them. McCarthy is a colossal fraud.
He disgusts me

They’re following Scalise, not McCarthy, IMO. Scalise is just waiting for McCarthy to do the right thing and withdraw.
How does McCarthy not understand that even if he cajoles his way to the gavel, it isn’t going to last. The guy is done having any power in his conference. There will be a forced motion to vacate the chair before the end of this year of McCarthy is made Speaker.
