They sure like to cheer for themselves a lot.
CNN’s now saying that Gaetz says he’ll vote “yes”.
Biggs…Present
(if everyone else votes the same, that’ll do it)
I remember when heavy weight boxing matches went 15 rounds
What is the implication of that? I don’t know enough about enough.
That was a change…and if everyone else votes the same, Kevin wins. Finally.
I think Biggs has been one that has always voter “other” so “present” helps McCarthy a lot.
On the 14th ballot, 432 votes were cast. Kevin got 216.
Biggs’ voting present changes that to 431. 50%+1 would become 216.
Crane votes present
Crane also changed to Present
Gaetz…still Present
Good changes to Present
Rosendale…doesn’t vote. (He voted for not-Kevin last time.)
Geez, this is still going on???
It’s after midnight in DC!
With 5 “presents”, the majority is 215…and Kevin just got there.
McCarthy’s reign of terror can now begin.
Rosendale changes to “present”…and everybody has now voted.
So is it finally over?
Yes…but I think it would be more accurate to say that it’s only just begun.
For example, I think I heard that MTG is going to be on the House Oversight Committee.
Sure… I just meant the election for SOTH.
So did they swear everyone in, or are they waiting for a more civil hour to facilitate families being there & such?
Every Republican, every rep that voted KM in is responsible for the shit that will come with this, the lack of oversight, the power to the fascists.
