Correct. But Congressman David Trone (MD)—who didn’t vote in Round 12–has returned to the House Chamber. If he votes in Round 13, that increases (by one vote) the number McCarthy needs.


Guessing he’s a dem?

I sent an email to his office yesterday urging him to withdraw his support for McCarthy. No response.

I WILL weigh that into my considerations when it comes time to vote again late next year.

I don't give a shite about this but I will say that Anna Paulina Luna could represent all over me.

The dissenters must have been told that they will get their demands but conditional them not nominating anyone this round

I can only imagine the pressure being put on these people (and, more particularly, their families and businesses). Still, it's bullshite.

Frankly, they should vote for Jeffries. At least there will be no question as to the motives and intent of the Speaker.

Kevin McCarthy has given away his shirt, pants, socks, and underwear.

He has gutted the Speaker's powers.

All to become Speaker.

Even if he can twist enough arms, it will be a Pyrrhic victory.

Lauren Boebert will have Kevin McCarthy's balls in her purse for the next 2 years.

If I am not mistaken there are quite a few absences this round. Did McCarthy convince some to leave??
