Scuttlebutt is Gaetz will vote for McCarthy in round 15.  No one's putting money on it, quite yet.

What could possibly have “changed” from vote 14 to vote 15? If he changes his vote now for no reason it just shows this was all BS.

Jeffries looks like he just smoked a Blunt.  Anyone know the whereabouts of Bob Casey?

Let's just say he has strong negotiating skills.

I sure hope not.  I'm just rooting for the shitshow at this point because the actual term is going to be a flat-out disaster.  No matter what pretty words are said afterwards, this schism won't heal and there won't be a working majority.

Gaetz was all over Fox earlier saying he can't think of anything else to ask for and calling McCarthy Speaker-designate.  He has no reason not to vote for him.

Voting present turned out to be too cute by half.

Boebert should drop the present BS, too, and make sure this ends tonight.

Biggs switched to present.

   It appeared to me that Gaetz was already leaving for the night and almost to the exit door when McCarthy caught up with him and had a few words to say, non-threatening, and GOP reps started changing their votes, after the vote was over, just moments later.

It's possible that Gaetz and Boebert worked out a deal where they would vote 'Present' and that it was the other four that messed it up.

It will be soon, or never.  Once it reaches 18 he will lose interest.

All six should vote present.  That would be funny as hell, and perfectly appropriate.

That would be funny.
