Crane votes present. With 3 present votes so far - Biggs, Boebert and Crane - the majority number falls to 216. McCarthy on track to win the speakership on this ballot. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Biggs and Boebert has voted present -- if all other votes stay the same as last round, that will give McCarthy the speakership (the majority number will be 216)... — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Two options here for McCarthy to win: -A "present" vote (Boebert or Gaetz) switches to McCarthy or -A non-McCarthy vote (Biggs, Crane, Good, Rosendale) switches to "present" — PolitiTweet.org

The GOP was short of the votes to adjourn the session and now appears to be trying to tank the adjournment vote....wave of Republicans switching their votes to 'no' — PolitiTweet.org

The clerk gaveled the vote closed. McCarthy: 216 Jeffries: 212 Jordan: 2 Biggs: 2 No speaker is elected. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Things are TENSE on the House floor. @RepMikeRogersAL lunged at Gaetz and had to be pulled back by colleagues. McCarthy walked over to plead directly with Gaetz. Members are starting to get restless as the vote is held open. McCarthy doesn't have the votes. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

McCarthy has 216 votes right now. He needs 217 to win with Boebert and Gaetz voting present. He needs a third present vote OR Gaetz or Boebert to switch to McCarthy. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

McCarthy is now talking to Gaetz directly on the floor. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Gaetz votes present. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

.@RepRosendale voted for Biggs, and with @laurenboebert voting present, @GOPLeader needs 217 votes to win. He has 216 supporters, which we know from previous votes. So it all hangs on @mattgaetz -- he must vote FOR McCarthy for McCarthy to win. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

.@RepBobGood votes for Jordan — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

.@RepMattGaetz does not vote on the first round. There may be some drawn out drama to this vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

.@EliCraneAZ, the lone freshman holdout remaining, votes for Biggs. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Andy Biggs, one of the 6 Republican holdouts, voted for Jordan. But Lauren Boebert just voted present. If two other holdouts vote present - even if none vote for McCarthy - the total number of votes needed to win will be 216. McCarthy has that. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

We are kicking off the 14th round of voting for House speaker. @PatrickMcHenry, one of the chief negotiators during the standoff, rises to nominate @GOPLeader. The 6 holdouts are not sitting all together as they did during the 13th vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

McCarthy loses the 13th ballot, but more progress with the @RepAndyHarrisMD flip: McCarthy: 214 Jeffries: 212 Jordan: 6 If Buck and Hunt return tonight, he will have to flip 2 holdouts or convince 3 to vote present to win the speakership. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

All of the original 20 holdouts have voted and now 6 are sticking with Jordan: 1. Biggs 2. Boebert 3. Crane 4. Gaetz 5. Good 6. Rosendale They have also all gotten up from their block of seats together. @GOPLeader poised to lose ballot 13, but making progress. — PolitiTweet.org

.@RepAndyHarrisMD flips to McCarthy... — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Ballot 13 voting has begun. Trone is back from surgery. Biggs and Boebert voted for Jordan. We wait and watch... — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Trone is back. 432 members likely here now, meaning the magic number is 432. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Onto vote 13... @JamesComer is nominating @GOPLeader — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

But - TWIST - @RepDavidTrone is on his way back to the Capitol now, a source tells me. That will make the magic number 217 on the next vote if he's here by then. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Unofficial vote total for ballot 12: McCarthy: 213 Jeffries: 211 Jordan: 4 (Biggs, Gaetz, Good, Harris) Hern: 3 (Boebert, Crane, Rosendale) Buck is back tonight. If Hunt comes back and Trone stays out, McCarthy needs to flip 1 holdout to get to 216 - the current magic number. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

.@RepGosar and @AndyOgles are flips 12 and 13 for McCarthy (not counting Spartz's flip to McCarthy from present). More than a dozen flipped this round. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

And @RepSpartz flips back from "present" to McCarthy. — PolitiTweet.org
