finally, McCarthy got to 216.
5 voted present
McCarthy duly elected Speaker with 216 votes.
6 present. one at the very end.
I have a feeling a whole lot is going on behind the scenes. I think this whole thing is really about negotiating conditions for the House as a whole moving forward and about how a Speaker can be removed if needed. Those rules will be codified so it will apply to either party in the future.
I think we’re watching a movie. The Democrats are freaking out about this and that’s exactly what we want them to do. Look over there while we do business over here.

The U.S. House of Representatives elected GOP leader Kevin McCarthy of California as speaker in a dramatic 15th vote
Drat
Did anybody see MTG run down to grab a photo with McCarthy in it just after he won the vote? The whole house erupted. Are they an item?
