Is McCarthy going to win by default since only 311 member are present?

So is Gaetz. He’s having the time of his life
and I am here for it. Posted on 1/5/23 at 11:51 am to Bobby OG Johnson
Does the vote for Trump even count since he wasn’t nominated? And will this lower the threshold for total votes needed? Just curious.

Ok, my question now is what can the uni-party do to push this through?
Is there a way for them to suspend the rules and go with a simple majority...?

Yes, it counts.
The opening speeches are ceremonial.
Total vote threshold is not lowered; that only happens with a vote of “Present” or by a member not showing up.

Why the frick did the Dems get up and applaud when Jefferies voted for himself? Is that a thing they do in the House or just liberal silliness?
***EDIT*** It's a goofy thing the House does, the RINOs just did it for McCarthy.

Under the modern practice, the Speaker is elected by a majority of
Members-elect voting by surname, a quorum being present. Manual
Sec. 27; 1 Hinds Sec. 216; 6 Cannon Sec. 24. The Clerk appoints
tellers for this election. However, the House, and not the Clerk,
decides by what method it shall elect. 1 Hinds Sec. 210. For former
practices relating to the election of the Speaker, see Manual Sec. 27;
1 Hinds Sec. Sec. 212, 214, 218; 8 Cannon Sec. 3883.
In two instances the House agreed to choose and subsequently did
choose a Speaker by a plurality of votes but confirmed the choice by
majority vote. In 1849 the House had been in session 19 days without
being able to elect a Speaker, no candidate having received a majority
of the votes cast. The voting was viva voce, each Member responding to
the call of the roll by naming the candidate for whom he voted.
Finally, after the fifty-ninth ballot, the House adopted a resolution
declaring that a Speaker could be elected by a plurality. 1 Hinds
Sec. 221. In 1856 the House again struggled over the election of a
Speaker. Ballots numbering 129 had been taken without any candidate
receiving a majority of the votes cast. The House then adopted a
resolution permitting the election to be decided by a plurality. 1
Hinds Sec. 222. On both of these occasions, the House ratified the
plurality election by a majority vote.

*I stand corrected. I didn't believe they had power to change rules until sworn in and seated.

The question is can Trump keep his ego in check and still support Kevin, now that is name is in the ring?
I got a feeling there was a little strategy here

They've done it all 7 times, and will do it again on the 8th
