The House is scheduled to begin the effort for the installation of California Representative Kevin McCarthy at 10:00pm ET. It is unknown whether the 14th ballot effort will succeed or exactly how many representatives are still in DC for the activity. The livestream is below:
UPDATE:
- Round 14 fails for McCarthy by one vote. 232 votes cast. McCarthy got 216 – one vote short of majority.
- Representative Mike Rogers (AL) tried to fight Matt Gaetz and had to be restrained. (LINK)
- GOP tried to adjourn. Voice vote failed and failed counting of yeas and nays. House cannot adjourn.

Who else voted present? Why aren’t they being badgered too?
Bobhert.
Boebert did and she is sitting next to Gaetz who is taking all of the heat.
In this case present is a no vote to McCarthy

MIKE ROGERS of alabama just had to be pulled away from Gaetz

Sitting next to Boebert , I’d keep a healthy distance.
She might be packin
I was just thinking the other day… didn’t somebody bring a gun to work a couple years ago and freaked everybody out in The Chamber?
If she was there she could be arrested. The guns have to stay in their offices.
I sincerely hope so! Earlier this week, she presided over the removal of the metal detectors from THE PEOPLES’ HOUSE. And she was pretty tickled about it!
He’s done flipped his wig!
Who writes this sh*t? Lunged? Watch the video!
Clearest video I could find. On Others, faces were behind the vote tallies.
Pop Mikey in the chops.
Goetz would stomped his little fat azz.
McCarthy is down for the 14th time:
Gaetz back down a little and vote present but that’s not enough cause democraf all show up.
Dems gonna extract max pain. They know how to play hardball.
The Floor is abuzz with electric anticipation of a new Session Of Congress consisting of more of the same sh*t.
I admire Gaetz’s courage.
No guts – no glory. No balls – no blue chips.
I admired it for the first two rounds only. Now I think he’s an idiot.
For standing up to a RINO?
for doing the very thing everyone always complains about them not doing
Well, still need 120 votes to break the record. He is not an idiot. They are pushing him in a corner.
please explain. Being sincere, I wanna know how this makes him an idiot.
Sigh
And Boebert’s.
Personally I think one of the hold ups is Matt G wants a admission that Kevin and Frank are a couple
And MTG is Kevin’s side piece.
I repeat: where is the 435th vote? Who didn’t vote? A Dem?
Went to God is the message I got.
We don’t have 435. There is one district in CA not filled yet
McEachin, VA, he died after the election.
Died suddenly
I think is was Buck, who was absent all day.
There was one R on his way back to TX unless he changed his mind….baby just got out of NICU and possibly going home from hospital….that was the last I read a few hours ago.
he is dead….although that has not stopped Dimm/commies from voting in the past so maybe we WILL see that 435th vote
Hakeem is jawboning now, the nightmare play?
Who else voted present? Why aren’t they being talked to like Gaetz?
Coulda sworn is was Boebert but don’t hold me to it.
You are correct.
Boebert and Gaetz voted present- the RINOs tried to put the screws to both of them on live TV…
Boebert voted present.
I heard a rumor they voted present to give themselves a chance to change their vote for McCarthy if the numbers risked Jeffries winning.
Boabert.
Are we in new territory here? Someone explain …I came here for answers. What the hell is going on? They gonna fight on the floor?
Wish so, frankly.
Dawn duel at 30 paces.
Suits of armor and spears!
Motion to adjourn to Monday. If it passes there will need to be a new nominee by then. McCarthy does not have the votes.
Hagemen voted mcFailure EVERY TIME. A person in a WY group that I am a member of, called harriets office, and talked to her handler. He said she wants a moderate as speaker.
1 term and done. She wont get another vote from many of us.
I wish they would fight. Fisticuffs would be a major improvement to their usual milquetoast pablum they pontificate with.
I said at the beginning of this: knives, chains, clubs, maybe some brass knuckles, and then lock the doors and wait for a result…..couldn’t hurt
If a fight happens it won’t be the first time someone from the House attacked another member of Congress:
https://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/minute/The_Caning_of_Senator_Charles_Sumner.htm
Haha, when I first read it, thought it said Sen. Charles Schumer.
He needs a good caning with a solid metal cane.
They do that in European countries, bloody noses. Canada and America do the fake fight, like a strongly worded letter aka Linda Graham. Pederi, not men or real women. Banditos all of them.
Pray for Gaetz.
He has the weight of the world on him right now.
Screw him.
What….he’s one of the good guys.
Go sit down, Hannity.
Sounds like she wants to date him
Why screw him? What is the rush?
Such an adult reply.
The uniparty spokesman speaks
Get lost, troll.
Karl you should keep a watch on that blood pressure.
Stay strong Matt!!
Everyone looks fresh and ready to party… definitely going out for some serious Steak and Drinks tonight…
Boebert is another American working two jobs. She is also Gaetz’ body guard tonight.
The six holdouts better keep an eye on their family pets. That’s usually the first method of persuasion.
“She is also Gaetz’ body guard tonight.”
Ha! My thoughts exactly…
I hadn’t thought of that. That would definitely bring out the John Wick in me.
I’m sure the McCarthy goons are cooking something up.
Dirty bastards, all of them. If McCarthy wins, I hope they keep him on a short leash and boot his ass if he reneged on his deal.
14 Time LOSER Kevin McCarthy!
Biggest Election Denier In History!
Needs 218, got 216. Ha Ha Ha!
He actually needed 217…based on the total members present.
No, they gave the wrong count. Total present are 216 + 212 + 4 + 2 = 434 / 2 = 217 + 1 = 218
The 2 present don’t count in tally so lowered threshold to 216 (432/2)but still had to get over 216 by at least 1
it is present VOTING….if they fail to provide a yeah or nay they do not count for the total
With 432 voting, the majority would be 217. However, C-span upped the vote one when it brought the count back up while the discussion was going on, so 433 voted so yes, 218 would be the number if I understand the rounding.
Best show I’ve watched in a very long time!
That was quite a twist at the end, right?
It really is. I hope they don’t adjourn now. I just restocked my beer supply.
Don’t forget the popcorn 😀
So many familiar corrupt faces visible in the once Peoples House. Once you see the strings its impossible to return to the time when you didnt.
CTH did that. Better to not live a lie.
Some faces I’d rather not see, mostly dems, like Debbie Whatsherface, Maxine and the little shit Raskin on the J6 committee and of course bug eyed Schiff. The list is long but those are a few of the prominent uglies.
Not enough votes. LMFAO
I admit, I wasn’t paying close enough attention… everybody on the Floor looked a little shocked and confused, though, didn’t they?
The “present” votes do not count toward the vote total. McCarthy got exactly 50%.
guess McCarthy can’t count after all.
432
It was 432 in the screen shot I got before the discussion started with Gaetz, then it disappeared and when it came back I believe it was 433 but at this point it’s all getting fuzzy.
Oopsy.
It’s time for McCarthy to step aside. All this is to feed his personal ambition.
Or well laid Derp State plans.
So that’s it for Round 14?
216
212
4
2
FAIL
Yep adjourn till Monday
Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah!!
Adjourn motion getting booed.
Sounds like the Ayes and Nays are even.
The clerk was appointed by Piglousi, she is biased.
Party like it’s 1858!!!!

Tonight’s vote in picture.
14th nervous breakdown!
Rolling Stones – 19th Nervous Breakdown
Many of the lyrics are applicable to McCarthy.
5 more votes, and someone should blast this from the balcony seats.
Street Fightin’ Man Gaetz has no Sympathy for the Devil
McFail has just been Painted Black, but he’s a Fool to Cry since he Can’t Get No Satisfaction
Gaetz says to him I’ve got you Under my Thumb so Get Off of My Cloud
McFail Ain’t too Proud to Beg but You Can’t Always Get What you Want
Gaetz says Bitch, your Love’s in Vain so Let it Bleed and Wild Horses will drag me away before I vote for you
McFail is going to Rip This Joint All Down the Line until he gets his Rocks Off
Gaetz says When the Whip Comes down you won’t be Happy, you’ll be Shattered
Gaetz is not a Beast of Burden, he’s Respectable
In the Undercover of the Night McFail will need someone to come to his Emotional Rescue
Feel our pain, Kevie, feel our pain.
I want to see him blubbering and fleeing the chamber!
Is that too much to ask?
That is simply pathetic. Throw the bum out!
We’re crazy to get up everyday, go to work, and send our money to these people.
You don’t send it, they take it, by force.
How does this work against a general strike?
Cannot take that which is not generated.
In the end – they need us we do not need them. They are parasites latched onto an artery. They let go, they die.
would it be ugly if I crossed my fingers that they let go?
Yep, for any who want to join the rebel alliance, well we’re out there. I stopped playing their game for good when the Covid operation hit.
They extort our money from us.
432 votes (2 present)
217 needed for Speakership
216 for McCarthy
= no Speaker, yet
McCarthy, 0-14.
LOSER.
ARROGANT loser.
Oh my…..
“You got somewhere to be tonight, Big Boy?”
Mike Roger’s has a very bad track record as an absolute flunky, if I recall correctly.
that after posturing earlier in the week as anti-KM
“Gentlemen! There’s no fighting in here! This is the War Room!”
He didn’t “lunge”. How ridiculous for someone to write that.
Did you not see the question mark at the end? The question she tweeted was in response to a statement made by a swamp member who said he lunged. Geez. 🙄
Rogers ought to be removed from Congress for that bull$hit!!! That is just inexcusable.
LOL…..in the early days, they used to DUEL…..ever hear of Hamilton-Burr
Not seeing that perv do a victory lap is satisfying.
Though I’d prefer a lot more pain for him.
Rules require a majority of those present to vote in the affirmative to pass……you have at least 201 butt-hurt GOPe in the mix right now and it appears you can add Mike Rogers to that + another 212 Dimm/commies……LOL….uh YEAH good luck with that
Trump for speaker!
Gaetz for speaker!
Dems going to make sure no adjournment if they can. They are loving this. Sufficient Reps leave then Jefferies will be elected Speaker and the GOP’s humiliation will be complete.
Oh please. such nonsense.
And to think that there was wailing and gnashing of teeth at the suggestion of a government shutdown if the omnibus bill did not pass.
Not we know that the earth will not spin out of orbit should such a thing happen.
Levin & Hannity hardest hit!
Silence is all I want from those two.
Though I will settle for sorrow.
Shapiro, Loesch, and Luntz too.
Nancy look pissed. She was promised.
She’s setting herself up as the “compromise” candidate.
Will they wait until 1:30AM – that seems to be the time they like most to steal an election?
In the dead of night when only the possums are awake.
McFailure keeps getting sacked. Time for a new quarterback.
And video…
The uniparty doesnt like their slop trough being rocked!
Every time McCarthy loses a vote, an angel gets its wings.
🤣
😂 That made all of this worth it! Thank you.
The holdouts are down to what now? They have wasted a lot of time and caused a lot of unnecessary stress, plus damage to Trump and the GOP.
And just wait people, if MAGA becomes the majority on the GOP side of the House and we have a chance to have a MAGA Speaker, you can be sure that the GOPes and RINOs will obstruct just like Gaetz and his idiot crew did this week. They will use the stunt as a precedent.
U talkin fantasy.
Who really won the 2020 election FKA?
Bot.
Whatever. The GOP has sold us out in favor of the Democrats for YEARS, Serena. A little of your own back as far as I’m concerned. Damage to the GOP? Good. The GOP has turned into a complete corrupt mess that gives their base the finger daily. Didn’t Mitch just go celebrate some stupid bridge with Biden? Yeah. He did. So stick a sock in it.
Politics is but war by other means.
MAGA is not going to become the majority on the GOP side. If there is even a chance of that, that chance goes down about 80% if Kevin get in. They have been trying to destroy the Tea party for years. Can you say IRS, FBI….
A MAGA will never be allowed to become speaker, OR become the majority for the many reasons that have been written about here. Until those reasons change, it will be corruption as usual.
They would do that anyway.
Who is the real President?
If MAGA have the majority it won’t matter
Little Kevin was upset and threw a tantrum. Time for Kevin to drop out.
If they were using dominion voting machines, McCarthy would have already been named speaker.
He already has, that is why he moved in the office.
Did Matt Gaetz just change his vote?
I guess he was simply voting on the adjournment question.
ha, ha, a tie on adjourning… 😀
Then they change the count. WTF
Tied on adjournment!
The number counter has gone nuts! 😀
Gaetz just changed his vote to Kevin
How so?
The vote is over, they are fighting over adjourning.
Yeah I just figured that out, sorry
I asked the question earlier, can a vote be changed after made?
They invited them to change votes before they began the roll call vote all over and none bit.
So I guess yes, but I’m hoping none do.
Caught that move…I think you are correct
What?!
McCarthy LOST again for the 14th time.
Whose the woman consoling him?
Waaah
“One vote short”
At least 6 Congresscritters still have their spines
Adjournment failed
205 yay
230 Nay
Numbers were just changed to up the nays…
19 Republican nays.
UpDATE: zero time remaining, but votes keep changing.
Nays now 257 (46 republican)
Did something happen?
They all rushed up to the “well” grabbed an orange piece of paper, apparently changed their vote on adjournment because the counter started going backwards.
