House votes 219-213 to adjourn until noon tomorrow. All of the 219 YES votes are Republicans. The NO votes are all Democrats + 1 Republican. There is still no Speaker. — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
And the 11th ballot fails. Scalise motions to adjourn. Democrats object. Chamber now voting on whether to adjourn for the day. — PolitiTweet.org

Laughter in the House chamber as the clerk announces that Donald J. Trump has received 1 vote for Speaker. — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
And the 10th ballot is finished. Same broad contours: 201 Republicans vote for McCarthy, 20 vote against him, 1 votes present. No Speaker yet. There will be an 11th ballot (at least). — PolitiTweet.org

On Fox News, Rep. Bob Good says the speaker standoff could take "a couple of days or maybe even a couple of weeks" to resolve. He says there's no "hurry" and this is "probably the most productive couple of days I've spent" over two years. "Most of what Congress does is bad." — PolitiTweet.org

9th ballot is done. Jeffries 212 McCarthy 200 Donalds 17 Hern 3 "present" 1 There's still no House Speaker. Next up: 10th ballot. — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
And the 9th ballot is underway. The nominees are McCarthy, Jeffries plus (for the GOP holdouts) Byron Donalds and Kevin Hern. — PolitiTweet.org

Lauren Boebert claims "threats have been made" and "you won't receive committee assignments if you do not vote for Kevin McCarthy." A lawmaker could be heard yelling: "Not true." Boebert replies: "That is true, it happened in conference and that is exactly what we were told." — PolitiTweet.org

Republican Rep. Don Bacon on the Speaker fight: "I think it’s bad — bad for the GOP brand. The folks out in all over America aren’t going to say it’s that 20. They're going to group us together." https://t.co/1QeixvnE32 — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
Once again, 20 Republican defections on the 8th ballot (17 vote Byron Donalds, 2 vote Kevin Hern, 1 votes Donald Trump). And 1 votes present. No candidate has the votes to become Speaker. This will move to at least a 9th ballot, tying the number of attempts needed in 1923. — PolitiTweet.org

McCarthy offers right-wing holdouts a major concession on motion to vacate Speaker's chair: Lower threshold from 5 to 1 members to force a vote. Another: HFCs get spots on key committees like Rules, which sends bills to floor. via @scottwongDC @ryanobles https://t.co/d5XcNDso2o — PolitiTweet.org

The Republican co-chair of the Problem Solvers Caucus, Brian Fitzpatrick, is part of the negotiations with right-wing holdouts to get McCarthy the votes for Speaker. Meanwhile, PSC's Democratic co-chair says: — PolitiTweet.org

The eighth ballot sees a new name in the Speaker tallies: Boebert and Brecheen vote for Rep. Kevin Hern (R-Oklahoma), who is not challenging McCarthy. — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
The result on the seventh ballot was mostly the same as the sixth: 20 GOP votes against McCarthy, although this time one (Gaetz) voted for Donald Trump; the other 19 voted for Byron Donalds. Spartz voted present. Now voting: eighth ballot. — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
Cloud, Clyde and Crane vote for Donalds as well. That's 7 GOP NOs on McCarthy. Same result expected. — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
Biggs, Bishop, Boebert and Brecheen vote for Donalds. No flips so far. — PolitiTweet.org

The 7th ballot for Speaker is underway. The candidates are Kevin McCarthy (R), Hakeem Jeffries (D) and Byron Donalds (R) — same as yesterday. — PolitiTweet.org

House Democratic whip @RepKClark says her caucus is going to stick around and keep voting in Speaker race. "We are here. We are in full attendance. And we are going to remain so," she says. Will Dems stay through the weekend, if needed? "Yes. And this is not a hard sell." — PolitiTweet.org

This illustrates a key difference b/w House Dems & House GOP: Dem moderates flex power. They pushed Pelosi to commit to a term limit, forced her hand on BIF before BBB, led a pro-police bill. GOP moderates tend not to flex; leadership reacts accordingly. https://t.co/vh9RidtMsT — PolitiTweet.org

News! @SenStabenow (D-Michigan) will retire after 2024. “Inspired by a new generation of leaders, I have decided to pass the torch in the U.S. Senate. I am announcing today that I will not seek re-election and will leave the U.S. Senate at the end of my term on January 3, 2025.” — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
House Republicans have to find the votes somewhere. Mathematically, two options: (1) Placate the far-right flamethrowers (2) Find some votes among Democrats They've ruled out (2) so Kevin McCarthy is making additional concessions to his right flank. https://t.co/vh9RidteDl — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
House Republicans’ refusal to entertain a deal with Democrats empowers the far-right to seek more concessions in the fight for Speaker. And it previews how they may operate in debates over must-pass bills to keep government open and raise the debt limit. https://t.co/vh9RidteDl — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
NEW: Anger is rising among House Republicans at the far-right rebels who they say are humiliating the party and holding it hostage. But there’s one thing they won’t do to elect a Speaker: cut a deal with centrist Democrats. “That's really off the table.” https://t.co/vh9RidteDl — PolitiTweet.org
