It feels like with each non-McCarthy GOP vote, any time a Dem votes for Hakeem, they get louder and prouder.

He's going to lose the first vote unless someone changes their vote. He lost 6.

I saw a tweet to the effect of we'll know the new speaker when white smoke gets blown up our asses, and I was like no lies detected.

I am dumb. What does this mean? The metal detectors they had installed that prevented guns on the floor are now gone. They were installed after 1/6.

I hate that this is happening (because I hate they have the majority) but at least it’s happening in a chaotic way.

Jeffries votes for himself and the crowd goes wild.
Moments later, Jordan votes McCarthy.

I wonder how many of these GOPers actually want something from McCarthy versus seeing that the first vote is going down in flames anyway and want to be able to campaign on a vote against McCarthy later.

"I vote for the man who will protect immigrants rights and stand up for the LITTLE PEOPLE!! HAAAAAAH-KEEEEEEEEM JEFFRIEEEEES!"

If every single elected Democrat votes for Leader Jeffries, he will be at 212. It only takes 218 votes to become Speaker. Jeffries will not be speaker, to be clear. The Freedum Caucus are not that absolutely stupid. I'm watching the vote and its pretty damn fun

There were only 211 for Jeffries, who was missing? None voted the other way, at least that I could tell.

I started clapping when they announced 212 for Hakeem. The Ds energy right now is infectious
