Steve HermanBy my math, McCarthy needs every remaining vote to become speaker, including Gaetz and Gosar who haven't voted yet.
Gosar has voted for McCarthy in the past two rounds and is likely to do so again. If Getz votes for someone else, doesn't vote or votes present, then it goes to the 15th round.
There are also appeals to Boebert (sitting next to Gaetz) to change her vote from present to McCarthy.
"At one point a McCarthy ally, Mike Rogers of Alabama, stormed into the huddle and seemed on the brink of violence, but he retreated to a cloakroom off the floor." -- Paul Kane, Washington Post.
Trump apparently still attempting to play a role in whipping votes for McCarthy.
Something's up. Republicans changing their votes NOT to adjourn. Looks like we'll go to a 15th round.
Now there are indications Gaetz will vote for McCarthy in the 15th round. Speculation includes he was promised a committee chair or Trump convinced him to support McCarthy.

Stephen Kellat@w7voa I'm hearing chats of "one more time" on live.house.gov
OSCrane@w7voa McCarthy's definitely not a spineless coward or anything...
Agora@w7voa they are all so pathetic.

Covidiocracy@w7voa “Vote for Kevin or I’ll tell everyone about the pool attendants you met at Mar-a-Lago, and many of them are on the younger side, believe me.”
***Dave Hill 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇨🇦🇬🇱🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️@w7voa So Gaetz' principled, definite, absolute, utter, profound opposition which would never, ever waver, for the good of the Nation and all that is Holy ... had a price.
I'm shocked, shocked.
Wendy MsGator 🐊That smile is unnerving. What will it cost the USA to put that smile on Gaetz's dial? Bad times ahead.

@w7voa i really do think it was simply bad math. boebert wasn't actually "present," apparently.

noahm@w7voa I wonder, as crazy as it sounds, if the Democrats would have done well to vote for McCarthy. They’d give him the Speakership, but without him being beholden to Gaetz and co. The MAGA wing might have been left marginalized at least a little longer.
eye0ftheworld@eye0ftheworld @w7voa Understood, but given the choice between “McCarthy” and “McCarthy with a big debt to Gaetz and the Freedom Caucus”, I might choose the former.

gdtrfbNo adjournment.
Round 15 nominations begin.
Biggs for the first time votes "present."
With Biggs voting present, if all others repeat their 14th round votes, then Kevin McCarthy will finally be elected House speaker in this 15th round.
Jamie Howarth 
@w7voa *if* doing a lot of heavy lifting there
Crane (R), also for the first time ,votes present.
Gaetz votes present.
Bob Good (R-VA), for the first time, votes present.
According to Jonathan Allen of NBC News, Rogers, the incoming chair of the Armed Services committee, was furious with Gaetz for holding out for a subcommittee gavel on the panel but it's unclear whether that has been promised.
Name of Rosendale (R-MT) called twice but he doesn't respond. (He's always voted for someone else besides McCarthy in the previous 14 rounds).
Men are too emotional for this job.

Attached: 2 images Oh my god. Gaetz now super duper pinky swears that he’s going to vote for McCarthy so McCarthy is running around like an idiot and everyone changed their votes to not adjourn and they are going to vote for a fifteenth fucking time i smell toast dhgalsfbgsgbr
Rosanita@futurebird @w7voa Probably another concession. Or more.
@w7voa it would be nice if he lost again. Then we would see fists flying.
DidiQ@w7voa Maybe they converted somebody.

DeusMorningStar@w7voa pathetic, what this is, is"Real housewifes of Capitol Hill"
madwonk@w7voa Gaetz just started fist-bumping people. Seems they might think they have the votes.
LazyCatHappyCat@w7voa they’ve talked Bobert and/or Gaetz into voting for McCarthy. Gaetz is smiling and shaking hands again, and Bobert is a follower so I’m guessing both agreed to vote for McCarthy. They don’t like being left out, so they’re coming in to save the day 🙄
@EeyoreTheCat @w7voa umm haven’t they created this dumpster fire?
AndyHThey're planning the next coup.
