I understand but unless he stands aside the voting for speaker could go on for weeks/months and some of them are prepared for that.
Who blinks first.
Any other time un history that the person running for Speaker did not have the votes on the first count, which was a few weeks ago for Kevin, they have withdrawn their names from the process. Kevin wouldn’t do that, so here we are. Now he and others are trying to blame the Freedom Caucus group who oppose him. Karl Rove had the nerve to say Kevin raised the most money (because that’s what it’s all about, right Karl?) and that Andy Biggs didn’t raise anything. If McCarthy were a noble person he would have withdrawn his name, but he’s not, he’s just the front for his buddy Paul Ryan and the rest of the Uniparty.
