No. Please read much more carefully.

19 voted for Jim Jordan (R) rather than McCarthy.

This does not put a D in the chair.

The Dem candidate had only the D votes and that was not enough to be elected.

They should have nominated a better turd than McCarthy. **** that guy

Well yes, but don't phuck over ourselves in the process. Jim Jordan is not going to win but McTurd will have to make unfavorable concessions to get us out of this quandry.

Hakeem needs 218 to be Speaker... that is NOT going to happen despite the R vote being split!!!

I hope...

Jordan would absolutely be the better choice.

Dan Crenshaw calls anti-McCarthy Republicans 'enemies' in fiery interview​

Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, vented about GOP "enemies" against Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House in a fiery interview on Tuesday.

"They are enemies now," he told CNN's Manu Raju. "They have made it clear that they prefer a Democrat agenda [over] a Republican one."

A small but crucial group of conservative Republicans are not backing McCarthy for House Speaker, leaving who will hold the gavel in doubt.

"This handful of members is very clearly looking for notoriety over principle," Crenshaw said. "That's what it is, and anyone who suggests differently is in some sort of make-believe, fantasy reality."

Some really false assertions on Crenshaw's part.

Jordan pisses off too many Reps... in R politics, McCarthy is the Biden type choice in that he won't change things. Not saying that's good, saying that's the way it is.

It's gonna go to a 4th round - 5 so far have voted Jordan; McCarthy could lose 4.

So what happens if no candidate ever reaches 218? Nothing gets done but EVERYONE will remember in 2 years and completely obliterate the republicans in the next election?

AOC didn't even vote. Whatta twink.
----until they called her name again at the end. Whatta diva.

I could live with Congress doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for a couple years.

Kind of demonstrates how weak the Rs are and why the Ds accomplished more in two years than the Rs have this century.

You can thank Paul Ryan for that, imo.

 

[Antares]

I agree Jim Jordan is a far better choice but the word is he doesn't want it according to FOX. Still the Republicans better choose a Republican.

I think they only need a simple majority of those who vote, not 218. 218 would be best but only 214 are needed.
