Looks like the RINOs may be counting on a lower quorum number for the third round of voting--fewer Democrats would mean McCarthy needs fewer votes to become Speaker.

From House source: 2 very plugged-in Dem leadership aides say they are already talking about “coalition leadership” to divide the House evenly between Republicans and Democrats.

If that happens, I will fundraise and work as hard as I can to remove Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert, and the rest of the 19 Republicans from Congress. And believe me, there are a ton of us who will do the same.

Reported McCarthy wants a 4th vote without adjournment......

Just what does he think this will accomplish?

So it takes a majority of members present - not members total.  This makes it more precarious.  If enough Republicans walk out, then Jeffries becomes Speaker.  And if enough Dems walk out, McCarthy becomes Speaker.

This is 100% on McCarthy.  He is the one here risking having a Dem Speaker, not the 20 Patriots.

Want to see it really get ugly?  Watch if McCarthy plays with some quorum monkey business to win, or consents to a co-leadership sharing arrangement. 

100% proof this RINO is more into self interest, than the well being of the country

Time to give it up McCarthy and step aside. Three times and you couldn't get it done. Swallow your ego for party unity. Let Jordan be the consensus candidate, because he will be.

You got to hope that some rank and file GOP finally recognize that this end game McCarthy is pushing is more akin to last man standing, than statesmenship. He is looking more like a loser in every subsequent vote.

That gives McCarthy around 18 hrs to confer with his Democrat colleagues to see if they have any dirt on the 20 GOP members.
