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.

All 212 Democrats have voted present. Republicans are missing two, still waiting.

One Republican didn't vote present in the quorum.

Jordan just placed in nomination by Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY). Going on an anti-Biden rant.

Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-CA) places Hakeem Jeffries' name in nomination for speaker.

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.

Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) votes for Kevin McCarthy. Jordan loses a vote.

Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) didn't vote on first call. Three so far have not responded when called.

Someone cast a vote for Lee Zelton, then the next Republican voted for Scalise.

There are now five votes for other candidates than Jordan or Jeffries.

Another vote for Zeldon, whoever that is. Six votes now for Other.

chyron says no candidate will have enough votes to be elected speaker. Second round expected.

The "Z" candidate appears to be Lee Zeldin a former Republican representative from New York.

Idle thought ... If Jordan loses this vote, will he claim voter fraud? ๐Ÿค”

Kevin McCarthy just voted for Jordan, received applause from the Republican conference.

Both sides of the aisle stand to applaud Rep. Mary Peltola (D-AK) who's just returned after the death of her husband in a plane crash.
