3 more votes and McCarthy will tie a record.
9 votes to elect Speaker in 1923.
Go Kevin Go.
Tie that record.

Co-equal rule then with Dems and the 20 will have proven their point.

Not even close. The most rounds to elect a speaker was in 1855, when it took 2 months and 133 rounds.

Go Kevin Go.

LOL...Yes, Kevin, go...Channeling Cromwell's comment to parliament in 1653:

It is not fit that you should sit here any longer. You have sat here too long for any good you have been doing lately … In the name of God go.
