On Tuesday, Trump-endorsed Kevin McCarthy failed three times to win the vote for US Speaker of the House. It was the first time in 100 years that Speakership was not decided in the first vote.
Kevin McCarthy lost the third vote for House Speaker on Tuesday afternoon, with 20 Republicans voting for Rep. Jim Jordan.
The winning Republican can only afford to lose four votes! He must reach 218 votes to win the Speakership. And the GOP holds a narrow 222 to 212 majority in the chamber.
On Wednesday morning McCarthy lost a 4th time! Then a fifth time. And then in the afternoon Kevin McCarthy lost a sixth time.
This was despite the fact that President Trump endorsed Kevin McCarthy on Wednesday morning and urged Republicans to vote for McCarthy.
The actions of these principled conservatives who refuse to support Kevin McCarthy is infuriating to party insiders, the Uniparty, lobbyists, and GOP elites.
The 7th Vote was started at noon on Thursday – No Speaker. The 8th Vote was held on Thursday afternoon – No Speaker. The 9th vote was held on Thursday afternoon – No Speaker. And, now the 10th vote was held on Thursday afternoon – No Speaker.

Rather he is an entitled spoiled brat.
They can spend the next year doing this, for all I care.
Congress brought to a grinding halt is another benefit.
Why not just take a vote a minute to get up to 100 and set a world record?
Hopefully we don’t have a real national emergency that requires quick action by Congress.
I saw it live. One person clapped.
They need to select the man who wrote ART OF THE DEAL, Donald J. Trump.
McCarthy won’t budge an inch for the conservatives but will bend over backwards for the Democrats
How are the Tories taking it?
McCarthy won’t budge an inch for the conservatives but will bend over backwards for the Democrats
Perhaps the last 20 people in DC who do for the sake of We the People.
LIKE GIVING MORE MONEY TO UKRAINE!!??We ate image National Emergincy of traitors.
The Minutemen/Women hold firm.

Amen.
I would add....
The Marblehead men were often the minority that kept us from loseing the revolutionary war during numerous critical battles.
When many deserted or ran in the heat of the battle
they held fast and turned the tide.
.
I am AMUSED!!!!
Fun stuff, hopefully they will keep doing this for the next 2 years.
“They need to select the man who wrote ART OF THE DEAL, Donald J. Trump”
Isn’t Trump trying to seal the deal for his man, McCarthy?
“McCarthy won’t budge an inch for the conservatives but will bend over backwards for the Democrats”
Not true. Late yesterday, Wed., he agreed to most of the demands of the Holdouts. He’s budged way more than inch.
That’s ok Kev - third time’s a charm ….. oh wait
