#Politics House Speaker lollapalooza delayed by quorum vote. The time expired long ago, still waiting for four members to show up. If some don't show, it affects the final count and margin of victory.
#Politics All 212 Democrats have voted present. Republicans are missing two, still waiting.
#Politics Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-CA) places Hakeem Jeffries' name in nomination for speaker.
#Politics No more nominations, so it's Jordan vs. Jeffries. Given no other Republican candidate's name was placed in nomination, I have to think that's a good sign for Jordan.
Some Republicans had said they were going to vote for McCarthy or Trump or another candidate.
#Politics The roll is being called ...
#Politics Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) votes for Kevin McCarthy. Jordan loses a vote.
#Politics Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) didn't vote on first call. Three so far have not responded when called.
#Politics A second vote for McCarthy. I didn't catch who it was.
#Politics Someone cast a vote for Lee Zelton, then the next Republican voted for Scalise.
#Politics There are now five votes for other candidates than Jordan or Jeffries.
#Politics Another vote for Zeldon, whoever that is. Six votes now for Other.
#Politics Another vote for McCarthy. That's seven votes for others.
#Politics Another vote for Scalise. That's eight votes for others.
#Politics Another vote for Scalise. Nine votes for others.
#Politics The "Z" candidate appears to be Lee Zeldin a former Republican representative from New York.
#Politics Another vote for Zeldin. That's 12 now for Other.
#Politics Another vote for McCarthy. 13 others.
#Politics Idle thought ... If Jordan loses this vote, will he claim voter fraud? 🤔
#Politics Kevin McCarthy just voted for Jordan, received applause from the Republican conference.

@WordsmithFL Probably Lee Zeldin from NY?
@WordsmithFL Buck was too busy sniffing Boebert’s shoes…
#Politics BREAKING ... Jim Jordan wearing a jacket on the House floor!
