Round 15 for Speaker vote underway. McCarthy fell short by 2 votes in round 14. I suspect he’ll get the votes in round 15.
@apetrusk he might not

Hi, Horrrflmlvr!
I guess he pulled it out. 😒
It'll be a circus in The House now the next 2 years. 🎪🤡🤹♂️🤹♀️🤦
Roll Call piece:
"The six "present" votes lowered the threshold McCarthy needed to win to 215. He pulled it out with one extra. All 212 Democrats voted for their leader, Hakeem Jeffries of New York."
I see the the House as described by an LA Times opinion piece:
"...McCarthy crawled into the speakership early Saturday on his hands and knees."
@apetrusk how much will anything be done there. And some representatives fed up, decide to exit stage left.
