McCarthy appears to suffer defeat in 11th ballot for House speaker

[Melchizedek = Michael]

People do not want McCarthy. He refuses to withdraw his name. Clerk will call for nomination and vote until Speaker is decided.

This is all on the Republicans! Not "people"!

Republicans can't stop fighting among themselves to elect a speaker.

Yes I believe so, why do you think otherwise? By the bye, Boeing shares have gone back over 200.

Are you confusing "people" with Republicans???

 

[Dutch Uncle]

I don't even know what's going on. I've totally disconnected from all this, it's confusing.

It's the final battle of the Republican Civil War. I think the nutjobs will lose.

I was comparing you favorably to the norm....but notice how badly you take a complement....which surely is not great.

So then I apologise. However it didn't read like that to me, at least.

So sorry that Fox, Breitbart, OAN, and your other RW masters aren't coming through for you, to tell you what to think.

Lets be honest...that is a problem......you have no excuse for taking the reading that you did.....it is poor performance.

Talk about exaggeration!! The last speaker election to go beyond the first ballot was a century ago, when members took nine tries to vote for Frederick Gillett (R-Mass.) to the position

 

[ThatOwlWoman]

Why are they doing roll call when they have electronic voting?

Tradition?

I would suggest it was ambiguous and vague, but it's clear enough now.

So who's the new speaker?

It's being shared jointly by Ms. Tweet and Mr. Woofer.

The all-time record for duration of a speaker vote was in the mid-1850s — when lawmakers took almost two months and 133 ballots before picking Nathaniel Banks, also of Massachusetts.
