Vote going on right now in House. CNN 12:55 EST

[applegrove]

[peppertree]

1. Let the games begin

[Nittersing]

2. How many votes does Jordon need? nt

[BumRushDaShow]

4. 217 (give or take how many vote or vote "present" )

[applegrove]

11. He can only afford to lose 3 votes. He's lost 2 so far.

[Nittersing]

12. Thanks!!

[onenote]

22. I think he can lose four and still win.

Assuming all 433 current members of the house vote, he needs 217 to win. There are 221 repubs, so losing four votes still gives him the necessary 217

[BumRushDaShow]

3. Already 1 "McCarthy" vote

[Hermit-The-Prog]

6. Has anyone voted for, or nominated, Rush Limbaugh's corpse, yet?

That could be a gauge of how crazy the crazy caucus is.

[BumRushDaShow]

8. LOL

There are now 2 McCarthy votes just as I was about to reply.

[Wednesdays]

5. MSNBC live feed

https://livenewschat.eu/politics/

[Hermit-The-Prog]

9. Thanks! I forgot about that feed.

[nolabear]

7. The count on msnbc is driving me mad.

They’re posting votes late and I guess in groups, since suddenly it’ll go up by two or three. God I hate everything right now.

[honest.abe]

10. 2 for McCarthy!

[Wednesdays]

17. Jeffries is ahead at the moment, and might even win the plurality

Unfortunately, he won't get the majority, since there ain't any Repugs gonna vote for him.

[honest.abe]

19. Yes, unfortunately

[BumRushDaShow]

13. Now a "Zelton" + a "Scalise" + 2 "McCarthys"

[honest.abe]

14. How many McCarthys + others will it take to derail Jordan?

[BumRushDaShow]

23. Techncially with 5 lost, he's derailed.

[honest.abe]

25. Good. However, I guess these holdouts will be threatened until they give in.

[C_U_L8R]

15. D'Oh.

Sorry, Jacketoff.

[obamanut2012]

16. OMG I read that as "Zoltan"

And was like who the heck is that?

[BumRushDaShow]

20. LOL

I have my closed-caption on and that is what came up (at least to confirm).

[obamanut2012]

26. lol

[Walleye]

24. I think they must've been voting for Lee Zeldin

[BumRushDaShow]

31. Yes looked up the name - it is "Zeldin"

[Walleye]

34. A blast from the past

[BumRushDaShow]

18. 1 "Garcia" + 1 "Scalise" + 1 "Zeldin" + 2 "McCarthys"

(confirmed "Zeldin" )

[Ohio Joe]

28. Is that 1 Scaramucci?

[BumRushDaShow]

39. LOL

Do we miss that guy yet?

[Qutzupalotl]

30. Thanks. That should be enough to sink him, right?

Assuming all the defectors were Republican…?

[BumRushDaShow]

33. He may have had enough to sink him back when he lost 5

So far there are 6 (assuming GOP) who haven't registered a vote.

[Wednesdays]

21. OOH, if the vote holds as is, Jordan won't get it on the 1st ballot!

[BumRushDaShow]

27. 2 "Zeldin?", 1 "Garcia", 2 "Scalise" 3 "McCarthys"

[BumRushDaShow]

29. 2 "Zeldin?", 1 "Garcia", 3 "Scalise" 3 "McCarthys"

[RANDYWILDMAN]
