I suspect the number of Rs who'd balk at the deals McCarthy is making is way over estimated. There are no moderates in that group.

RP: McCarthy says he has the votes now.
I'll believe it when I see it. This guy has bluffed and puffed his way through the last 72 hours in the utter desperation of his blind ambition, and, assuming he does get it, I think he'll find that getting the job will have been his easiest task. He'll wake up one morning not too long from now and realize that he systematically dismantled his speakership before it even began by kowtowing to these lunatics. And then he'll wonder why the hell he ever wanted the job so desperately in the first place.

LOL. Gaetz not in for the first roll call. Will he be the one that puts McCarthy over? Such an attention whore.

Mike Rogers was the one that cursed out Gaetz and lunged at him.
Grand Ole Party.

I think one of the two can still switch at this point and time (I remember that happening last speaker cycle), which is why he is begging rn

Who did not vote by the way?
|
|
| |
Wait he has 216? My math may be off but with Gaetz and Boebert voting Present, I thought that meant he won?
Did he need one more Present or was I misunderstanding how that works
