When #KevinMcCarthy becomes Speaker with 216 votes, it brings to mind that #NancyPelosi likewise became Speaker with that same number, proving that total numbers tell only a small sliver of the story. — PolitiTweet.org

This is the 5th highest number of ballots for Speaker of the House in U.S. history. No other Speaker selection since well before the Civil War has gone as far as the 15th ballot, and only four since the Founding have gone farther. What #KevinMcCarthy owes #MattGaetz is scary. — PolitiTweet.org

216 > 1/2 of 428, so #KevinMcCarthy is elected Speaker with 216 votes, less than a majority of the 434 members-elect present, because 6 voted “present” and 212 voted for #HakeemJeffries. And so it went on this historic but dark night, inaugurating a dangerous era of nihilism. — PolitiTweet.org
