I have more respect for the nutcases who actually vote against Johnson rather than the ones who abstain.

Campari_007: No, Chip Roy is the one who made a big stink and then abstained.

BBC Live Reporting is reporting that Chip Roy voted for Johnson.

The clerk is now reading the names of those who did not vote. Some are casting ballots for Johnson, who has returned and is watching from the front of the chamber.

Chip Roy of Texas, who was considered one of the leaders of the group, just voted for Johnson.

That elicited another round of chatter - and an audible ooo-hoo from one of the Democrats [Link]

So....does it go down officially as winning on the 1st ballot? Norman and Self changing 1st ballot votes?

No way Musk was ever in the running he would never ask to be put in a position to have to work a real job

Or have even the minimal financial transparency required to hold legislative office.
