The gop speaker vote - finally final

[NewOrleans]

This is no fun. It feels like when you put Christmas lights away and then the living room is plain. ☹️

[mrsslocombe]

Per Olivia Beavers on Twitter, he has the votes with Rosendale and Crane voting "present" assuming they can get all 222 GOP members in the room.

Voting present is dumb. So much brave. Very courage. Wow.

She has also reported that Rosendale and Crane have reiterated that they are a "no" on McCarthy, but that leaves room for a "present" vote so we will see.

Way to stick to your guns, fellas.

[seeyalater52]

Ok Hunt and Buck are back. We’ll see how this goes.

[Pom]

This is pathetic.

[bronxgirl]

The house clerk is not amused by the lousy jokes. I do t know his name but the guy nominating McCarthy seems more embarrassed by his jokes failing than McCarthy is after all this losing.

[curbsideprophet]

So it sounds Kevin may have the votes but not everyone agrees to the rules package they came up with.

Who knows if that will actually happen though.

What a mess.

[seeyalater52]

If McCarthy wins tonight and they make everyone sit thorough a Rules vote I’m going to bed. Fuck this long boring week, seriously.

It’s been excruciating. And yet Kevin seems undeterred in his quest for continued embarrassment and future humiliation.

[Birdie]

I feel bad for the speech writers that have had to rewrite these nomination speeches 14 times over.

Truly. And his nomination speeches (all 14 of them…) have made it clear that his own colleagues really don’t like him much.

. The most recent nomination speech sounded more like a best man speech at a wedding. “He tells the same stories over and over. But he sent me a fruit basket.”

[seeyalater52]

Boebert “present.” Hot damn.

ETA: she was not happy. Can’t wait for more leaks about what happened behind closed doors.

[curbsideprophet]

Per Kornacki, Ken Buck still not there and he is a vote for McCarthy. So that could be an issue.

I agree that Boebert did not seem happy with her vote. Crane voted for Biggs.

[beetea]

MSNBC just announced that Buck IS in the building. He'll be able to vote at the end.

[curbsideprophet]

And of course Gaetz did not respond.

So fucking dramatic.

[Poeticxpassion]

MSNBC is speculating that Gaetz didn’t respond so he can be the “hero” winning vote.

[seeyalater52]

The bar for a standing ovation has sunk pretty damn low today.

One assumes. Although it’s Gaetz so I wouldn’t count a last vote derail out either.

[curbsideprophet]

Rosendale votes Biggs

I absolutely believe that, especially with what they are saying now. Gaetz can’t vote present, he needs to vote for Kevin. This also assumes Gosar continues to vote for McCarthy.

[Poeticxpassion]

Kornacki says it all comes down to Gaetz. Wtf.

He fancies himself having a little McCain moment here. So much secondhand embarrassment for the entire party.

[seeyalater52]

Gaetz present.
