Hey, Ali and Stephanie--one McCarthy voter has to attend a funeral tomorrow, so

[spooky3]

Repubs won’t support adjournment until Saturday—they would want to wait until Monday.

[BumRushDaShow]

1. They are voting right now to adjourn until Monday at noon

[spooky3]

3. Yes, but Ali and Steph were asking if they would instead consider Saturday. Nt

[BumRushDaShow]

4. This is why I *don't* watch "reporters" and "pundits"

when stuff is going on in front of me in Congress.

You can see the frustration in the chamber and they need a big time-out.

[spooky3]

8. MSNBC has been showing all of that. Kornacki has tried

To keep people updated on how the minimum number of votes McCarthy needs changed throughout the evening depending on the total number of votes (excluding the eventual 2 “present” votes). Ali and Steph probably hadn’t gotten the word on the funeral etc.

[BumRushDaShow]

9. They just did a last minute vote switch after the time expired

to stay in session and try for vote #15.

[spooky3]

10. People have been texting MSNBC that the Repubs now think

Gaetz will vote for McCarthy.

[BumRushDaShow]

11. CSPAN cameras have been showing people going over to him

Poor clerks trying to tally the crazy vote changes.

[spooky3]

12. Same on MSNBC. Nt

[BumRushDaShow]

14. They all have the same CSPAN feed

but I don't have to have the commentary...

[spooky3]

13. MSNBC now reporting that one or some of the 4 who voted for someone other

Than Kev will switch to “present” which will reduce the # McCarthy needs.

[BumRushDaShow]

15. We'll just have to watch what happens

because we were "told" that McCarthy "had it" with vote #14.

Just let it play out and let the chips fall where they may.

[spooky3]

16. Biggs just voted "present."

[BumRushDaShow]

17. Yup heard it

[spooky3]

18. So has Crane. Now we'll have to see if the other votes will

Remain the same as in the last round.

[BumRushDaShow]

19. 5 presents and 1 other vote out of the 6

[spooky3]

20. Now we'll see the chaos begin as they try to get anything done. Nt

[Kennah]

2. Gaetz's or Bobo's?

[question everything]

5. How I would love to see both of the disappearing into the sunset never to be seen again

[BumRushDaShow]

6. Technically it ain't them

They both voted "Present".

But there were 4 who voted for someone other than McCarthy.

[Kennah]

7. Any of the 6 coulda voted Kevin
