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.
"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.
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.
"Speaker McCarthyβs dream job could turn into a nightmare for the American people," says Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. "To get the votes, he surrendered to demands of a fringe element of the GOP."
βNo one gets promised anything,β House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has just told Dylan Wells of the Washington Post who asked about the tense encounter with Matt Gaetz.
@w7voa This is why I thought it would be a brilliant move for the Democrats to support McCarthy if he rejected the crazies. He was going to win eventually. But keep Gaets and Bobert off committees.
@w7voa Fifteen tries for what normally is handled in one. Wow. How embarrassing. I hope this isnβt an indication for what is to come for every potential future decision made there.
@dhepworth@w7voa One of the concessions was that any one unhappy Boeber...I mean baby, could throw down their toys and force a new election, right? Expect one of the maga to do that right when a key piece needs passing.
