And with those 5, it seems like the McCarthy nomination will fail again, unless by some strange turn of events a D votes for McCarthy (it’d probably be someone who doesn’t vote at all on this first roll call so they can wait and see if a single vote is enough or not).
Then we’d know that some bargain was struck behind closed doors to give the Dems some concessions in exchange for a vote or two.
If I’d lost that many times, I think I’d be embarrassed.
