Drama on the floor!

Some of the votes changed, and now it is 216-212-4,* with Boebert and Gaetz holding out.

If they don't vote, McCarthy will have only 50%. :popcorn:


* Biggs and Good (presently) for Jordan; Crane and Rosendale (presently) for Biggs.

Gaetz votes present. They don’t have the votes. An absence throws it!

The video is spellbinding. McCarthy himself went over to Matt and looked like he Kevin was freaking out. Somebody looked like he was about to hit Matt and somebody else pulled the guy back. OMG. Mike Rogers of Alabama lunged at Matt. Richard Hudson pulled Mike back.

Well, Gaetz gets to get his name go down in history--for something other than liking young girls.

Fourteen times is enough!

It's time for the first Dachshund Speaker of the House.

Biscuit, because if they're gonna fight like dogs, we need a dog in the fight!

Gosar switching his present vote sunk McCarthy. :evil:

Republicans moved to adjourn to Monday; the voice-vote failed, so now they are voting. It is on party lines so far (Democrats voting no).

The "Knutsax Four" have proved beyond doubt that being a Congressperson is not what they consider their day job. It's merely a plot device in their performance art reality TV show.
