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.
