1) A win for McCarthy. The House votes to adjourn. Only 4 GOP defectors. They voted with the Dems to adjourn. The vote, 216-214. Switch one vote, and you have a tie. By rule, the motion to adjourn would have failed at 215-215. Tie votes fail automatically.
2) House back tomorrow at noon et. Will resume with 7th vote for Speaker.
