#Politics Gaetz votes again for Trump.
Pelosi didn't vote!!!
She's holding out to change the denominator!

Spartz voted Present.
She's hard-right and Ukranian-born.
Complex.

Whooooooh
Someone just voted "present".
That lowers the denominator.

I'm sorry Kevin.
They're just not that into you.
This is a bit confusing.
351 members-elect were counted today.
435 were counted yesterday.
If the quorum was defined by merely counting more than 218, then maybe they just stopped voting.
Otherwise only 175 are required to win the vote for the Speaker of the House.

Looks like Bryon Donalds is the next spoiler the GOP has picked.

"Move the adjourn until tomorrow"
Passed!

Chat GPT3:
In the United States House of Representatives, a representative is designated as being present if they are physically present on the House floor or if they are participating in the proceedings remotely, such as by using video conferencing. A representative who leaves the room but remains in the Capitol can still be considered present, as long as they are able to participate in the proceedings and vote if necessary.
(The denominator does not get reduced during this vote if they leave)
