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.

Enuf vote attempts for this loser! Pitch him OUT!
Amen.
Another RINO shill?
If you think quick action by Congress solves problems, then YOU are part of the problem.
You failed to answer my question. I guess we’re done.
Your premise supposes we must have a Congress at the ready to respond to emergencies. Your premise is absolutely ridiculous.
You’re also incapable of recognizing the massive failure, on several levels, of the law you use as your example.
Wrong on all counts.
Now, once again.. think hard.. what would’ve been your response to Al-Qaeda. Ponder it and get back to me.
It would not have been a blank check and authorization for the President to start any war he want at any time he wants and for any reason he wants.
Again, you stupid dummy, it’s not a binary choice.
Ok, since you’ve decided to devolve into personal attacks, it’s quite clear you’re frustrated at lacking a single critical thinking atom in that “brain” of yours. Deciding to strike at those who inflicted 3000+ deaths of your countrymen really isn’t all that complicated. Certainly even you should be able to understand that. Or perhaps you’re one of those believers of “peace at any price.”
Whatever the case is, begone. We’re done here.
I never said I wasn't going to vote.
