@MeetThePress @NBCNews @mattgaetz @RepAndyBiggsAZ @RepDustyJohnson @sahilkapur 2/ In 1923, it took Rep. Frederick Gillett, R-Mass., nine ballots before he was reelected as speaker. Before the Civil War, speaker floor fights were quite common; it happened more than a dozen times. The record was 133 ballots during two months from 1855-1856 #TweetThePress — PolitiTweet.org

@MeetThePress @NBCNews @mattgaetz @RepAndyBiggsAZ @RepDustyJohnson @sahilkapur 1/ Quite amazing it has been exactly 100 years since we last saw multiple ballots for speaker, so we are witnessing a bit of history. None of the thousands of ppl who work on Capitol Hill -- lawmakers, staffers, reporters -- have ever seen this before. #TweetThePress — PolitiTweet.org

@MeetThePress @NBCNews @mattgaetz @RepAndyBiggsAZ @RepDustyJohnson @sahilkapur 3/ But after the war, party caucuses realized they could “air their dirty laundry” privately and pick a nominee, as one historian told us, rather than fight it out on the House floor.
