We're on to the eighth round nominations. If any of the nominees change or the roll call begins to go in a different direction than previous rounds I'll let you know.

@w7voa If these 20 “rebels” in the house really want to screw over their party, maybe they should just vote for Jeffries.

@cheffe @w7voa or McCarthy just talk to Democrats and get a deal. I mean, this is embarrassing and a nonfunctional House...
