Team McCarthy first sensed they were on the cusp of a breakthrough last night. @RepFrenchHill, McCarthy ally in the negotiations w/ right wing: “We had an encouraging visit in the evening yesterday. And we were encouraged before we went to bed last night.” https://t.co/iECCYBGRNS — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: How Kevin McCarthy got the votes for speaker — and why it could haunt him After a chaotic floor fight, the Calif. Republican won by making a series of concessions to far-right rebels. https://t.co/iECCYBGjYk — PolitiTweet.org

Schumer, sounding less than congratulatory: "Kevin McCarthy’s concessions to the extremists in his party make it far more likely that the MAGA Republican controlled House will cause a government shutdown or a default with devastating consequences to our country." — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
Chuck Schumer reacts: "Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s dream job could turn into a nightmare for the American people. To get the votes, he surrendered to demands of a fringe element of the Republican party." https://t.co/iyXSjsINAM — PolitiTweet.org

A moment of levity in the chamber when SPARTZ — who went from yes on McCarthy to present and back to yes — appeared to vote PRESENT. She clarifies that she's voting for McCarthy. Members laugh. — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
A wild fact about all this: Nancy Pelosi figured out how to win the speakership on the first ballot in 2021 with a 222-seat majority identical to what McCarthy has now. And she faced 15 Democratic defections (albeit under a larger majority) in 2019. — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
DRAMA in the House chamber. McCarthy himself walks over talk to Gaetz and Boebert to talk. Both voted PRESENT. It appears he needs one to switch to YES to win. Democrats across the chamber are watching this, some of them smiling. "Regular order!" one shouts. — PolitiTweet.org
