@MeetThePress @NBCNews @mattgaetz @RepAndyBiggsAZ @RepDustyJohnson @sahilkapur @KyleAlexStewart @freedomcaucus @MarkMeadows @SteveScalise @Jim_Jordan @ByronDonalds 5/ Jordan was huddling with McCarthy just a moment ago on the floor. Lots of conversations happening as @GOPLeader loses his 7th consecutive vote It's unclear how they break this logjam #TweetThePress — PolitiTweet.org
Scott Wong @scottwongDC
@MeetThePress @NBCNews @mattgaetz @RepAndyBiggsAZ @RepDustyJohnson @sahilkapur @KyleAlexStewart @freedomcaucus @MarkMeadows @SteveScalise @Jim_Jordan 4/ And Joran probably couldn't win over enough moderates to reach the magic number of 218. The same goes for @ByronDonalds, the current choice of the rebels #TweetThePress — PolitiTweet.org

@MeetThePress @NBCNews @mattgaetz @RepAndyBiggsAZ @RepDustyJohnson @sahilkapur @KyleAlexStewart @freedomcaucus @MarkMeadows @SteveScalise 3/ This week, the rebels were rallying behind former Freedom Caucus chair @Jim_Jordan, but he's said he doesn't want the gavel and only wants to be Judiciary chairman. #TweetThePress — PolitiTweet.org
Scott Wong @scottwongDC
@MeetThePress @NBCNews @mattgaetz @RepAndyBiggsAZ @RepDustyJohnson @sahilkapur @KyleAlexStewart @freedomcaucus @MarkMeadows @SteveScalise 2/ Scalise would face many of the same demands that the rebels are putting on McCarthy. But he doesn't have the bad blood that McCarthy has with the so-called "Never Kevins" #TweetThePress — PolitiTweet.org
Scott Wong @scottwongDC
@MeetThePress @NBCNews @mattgaetz @RepAndyBiggsAZ @RepDustyJohnson @sahilkapur @KyleAlexStewart @freedomcaucus @MarkMeadows 1/ I’m looking at them right now from my perch in the press gallery above the floor. Obv @SteveScalise, the Majority Leader and the No. 2 GOP leader, is on everybody's list if McCarthy bows out. He's endorsed McCarthy but been relatively quiet lately #TweetThePress — PolitiTweet.org
Scott Wong @scottwongDC
@MeetThePress @NBCNews @mattgaetz @RepAndyBiggsAZ @RepDustyJohnson @sahilkapur @KyleAlexStewart 4/ With the rise of the Tea Party & @FreedomCaucus, we saw a return to the speaker battles In '15, @MarkMeadows & HFC pressured Boehner 2 resign, then blocked Majority Leader McCarthy from becoming speaker. They gave Paul Ryan hell too. Now they're at it again #TweetThePress — PolitiTweet.org
Scott Wong @scottwongDC
@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. More history from me and our resident NBC historian @KyleAlexStewart: https://t.co/ARlVcEShPe — PolitiTweet.org

@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
Scott Wong @scottwongDC
@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
Scott Wong @scottwongDC
@MeetThePress @NBCNews @mattgaetz @RepAndyBiggsAZ 3/ While there’s plenty of chatter about a bipartisan consensus candidate, there have been no serious discussions on this. Moderate @RepDustyJohnson calls it fantasy, more akin to an Aaron Sorkin film. #TweetThePress More from our own @SahilKapur here: https://t.co/DjDGxx5LuC — PolitiTweet.org
Scott Wong @scottwongDC
@MeetThePress @NBCNews @mattgaetz @RepAndyBiggsAZ 2/ Both Ds and Rs are warning this impasse is weakening national security. Without members sworn in, national security committees like Armed Services and Intel can’t meet or receive briefings from admin officials. #TweetThePress — PolitiTweet.org

GOP freshman Lawler notes that he represents Bill and Hillary Clinton's NY district and casts vote for McCarthy He beat SPM — PolitiTweet.org
Scott Wong @scottwongDC
@MeetThePress @NBCNews @mattgaetz @RepAndyBiggsAZ 1/ Dems are reveling in the GOP dysfunction, but at the same time there’s a strong desire to get members sworn in to start their committee work and get back to business #TweetThePress — PolitiTweet.org
Scott Wong @scottwongDC
@MeetThePress @NBCNews @mattgaetz @RepAndyBiggsAZ 3/ McCarthy is making key concessions to conservatives to try to win over the 20 detractors. But he’s weakening the speakership – and himself – by doing so. #TweetThePress Read more here about those concessions https://t.co/atTCHOvxis — PolitiTweet.org
Scott Wong @scottwongDC
@MeetThePress @NBCNews 2/ McCarthy has almost zero wiggle room. That margin has given enormous leverage to a handful of far-right rebels, including “Never Kevins” like @MattGaetz and @RepAndyBiggsAZ. Even though 90 percent of Republicans back McCarthy. #TweetThePress — PolitiTweet.org
Scott Wong @scottwongDC
@MeetThePress @NBCNews 1/ It’s really a math problem for McCarthy. If a red wave had swept a big GOP majority into the House, McCarthy would have had no problem winning the speaker’s gavel. But because their current majority is so paper thin, McCarthy can only afford to lose four GOP defections. — PolitiTweet.org

GAETZ VOTES FOR TRUMP — PolitiTweet.org
Scott Wong @scottwongDC
@MeetThePress @NBCNews 2/ For example, the Republicans wanted their first vote of 2023 to target the IRS with big cuts. Instead, they’ve been bogged down in this speaker drama and could barely agree yesterday to adjourn for the night. #TweetThePress — PolitiTweet.org
Scott Wong @scottwongDC
@MeetThePress @NBCNews 1/ To be frank, there is no functioning House of Reps. Lawmakers have not been sworn in, committees haven’t been formed or begun investigations, and no bills have been voted on. The newly empowered GOP majority is off to a really rocky start. #TweetThePress — PolitiTweet.org
