I misspoke earlier.  There are only 4 GOP votes against McCarthy, not five.  He could still win.

With Boebert 'present' and one vacancy, McCarthy needs only 217 out of 222.

So Matt Gaetz and Matt Gaetz alone decides if Kevin McCarthy becomes Speaker.

Gaetz will vote 'McCarthy'.  He sounded pretty satisfied around 9:30.

Currently tied at 215 for McCarthy - 215 against McCarthy.  He needs a Boebert or Gaetz vote.

McCarthy is ONE vote short. He has 216 - Needs 217. Gaetz voted ‘present, meaning it doesn’t count.

Good stuff!

As far as I'm concerned, the Pottery Barn rule is in effect.  Gaetz has broken the caucus. McCarthy should cancel any agreements or concessions, restart at square one, and settle in for the long haul on voting.

Let Gaetz see if he can get someone else to 218 with McCarthy still in the race.

My guess is that Jeffries or some outsider gets their first.
