    A McCarthy voter switching to present is...ummm...interesting. It obviously doesn't help him but still screws over Donalds. McCarthy only has 201 votes he can't win with people voting present unless they are Dems or (now) Donalds 20. Jeffries has the "lead" the more that drop out that aren't Dems the closer he is to victory. If McCarthy doesn't start flipping the Anti McCarthy crowd he can't win the numbers are against him.

    I am not sure why she voted present. It doesnt help Qevin and it doesn't help the GOP.
    It's not for Kevin, it's for the Rep. Voting Present tells Mccarthy they won't back him and tells the opposition Jordan is unacceptable so put up somebody else and she may vote for them.

    The options are: ride or die Qevin, but it looks like the Taliban Twenty are serious; Gym which is ridiculous and disgusting; Present; vote for yourself a la Donalds; vote for some other Rep to try to coax them to declare. Or I guess vote for Jeffries to grab headlines but probably destroy your career.

    There is another option, though, and that is to nominate Dump. I am surprised nobody has done that yet.

      Well once McCarthy drops out some other R immediately gets all his votes, and then maybe a few of the protesters'. Or maybe the moderates are trying Chinese water torture: every round the Crazies hold on, they shoot a hostage, moving Jeffries one vote closer to Speaker. The Mccarthyites way of giving a "I would rather let Democrats control committees than you" middle finger to the Vandals.

        All I can say is this is so richly deserved. I hope the Republican party literally splits in half, like the pre-Civil War Democrats.

          Gym is out. Donalds got all his votes. He seemingly really wants nothing to do with this cluster...turning a blind eye to rape as per usual. (this time Qevin)

          If that is her play it is stupid. They need Qevin to drop (or cut the deal of deals) or they have no path to victory. Even Boebert can do the math...she isn't a Talibaner she was Pro McCarthy yesterday. Why change now?

          The Qrazies are ride or die...her voting "present" screws her whole party.

            I know nothing about Donalds, I assume he is crazy given who is voting for him, but part of me would find it very funny if a guy named "Donalds" won just to rub it in to Trump it wasn't him.

              I don’t even know who Donalds is but apparently he’s come from the school of hard knocks

              iAre they now running a black man? I keep seeing cnn pan to two guys but don’t know which one is him

                It’s already an official game. Now with Donalds having 12 midway through the 6th we’re guaranteed a 7th inning stretch.

                  Man, the Russian intelligence operation to sew chaos and discontentment amongst their former enemies - the GOP - has really been incredibly successful.

                    This is getting hilarious...

                    https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1610775422114865152

                    Baier: Let me just be clear, you are lumping in Kevin Mccarthy with the swamp and thereby saying that former president Trump in endorsing McCarthy is somehow tied to the swamp? Is that what you are saying?
                    People loyal to Trump, who think he would be draining the swamp, are saying the man he endorsed and is begging for them to vote for is...part of the swamp? So Trump is draining the swamp by being associated with the swamp?

                      He defrauded a bank. That's kind of good news / bad news.

                      The GOP is pushing him because he's black and they think, seriously, the Congressional Black Caucus will flock to him.

                      Because Conservatives are racist morons.

                        No they don't...because he has already gotten in a fight with the CBC over their racial stances. It is how he made a name for himself. He also fully backs Trump (even said he isnt racist!) and voted not to certify. He is a crackpot criminal who became a Republican because he "found Jesus" and became a Christian.

                        He is originally from NY.

                                Gaetz is another that McCarthy could have kneecapped ala Madison Cawthorn, but he didn't. And now...
