Results of today's Speaker Vote
Jeffries 212
Jordan 199
McCarthy 5
Scalise 7
John Boehner (I am not making this up) 1
Others 9
Needed: 217. Jeffries is within spitting distance.
If Republicans had any shame at all, the entire party would die of embarrassment at this point
@estherschindler @Stonekettle I think when it took 15 votes to elect McCarthy :-)
@Stonekettle You have to have standards and principles to feel shame at not living up to them.
If this keeps up even Hastert will end up getting a vote.

@Stonekettle
Or 5 would join the Dems 😁🦄🌈🍰😁
126 Rs did their part in the coup. If any of them become Speaker, the coup advances
@Stonekettle I don't remember the last time they exhibited shame.
