Yesterday it was Andy Biggs, then Jim Jordan. Now the anti-McCarthy GOP rebels, led by Chip Roy, are nominating Byron Donalds for Speaker. Donalds voted for McCarthy on the first two ballots yesterday, then became the only one to flip against him. — PolitiTweet.org

Walking onto the House floor, Rep. Andy Biggs is mum on how he’d vote if there’s a motion to adjourn: “I’m not saying.” — PolitiTweet.org

News: Democratic leaders are officially whipping a “NO” if there’s a Republican motion to adjourn. If Dems vote as a bloc and at least five GOP McCarthy rebels join them, the motion fails and the House moves to a vote on Speaker. https://t.co/0vRpBydOEQ — PolitiTweet.org

Democratic leadership member @RepPeteAguilar is mum on whether they'll whip against a possible GOP motion to adjourn today. "We'll be communicating to our members what our suggestions are," Aguilar says, adding: "It's clear that by asking for more time—it's just continued chaos." — PolitiTweet.org

If Kevin McCarthy (or whoever the Speaker is) can't manage a dozen or two far-right rebels that person won't be able to govern on basic matters with a Democratic-led Senate and President Biden. The math simply doesn't work if they're calling the plays. https://t.co/eQKV0yq04N — PolitiTweet.org

The other problem is a governing one: Getting elected Speaker is the *easy* part. Holding the confidence of a narrow majority every day for two years — forcing tough votes, keeping government functioning, navigating divided rule — is the hard part. https://t.co/eQKV0yq04N — PolitiTweet.org

Larger problem for GOP: The Speaker mess comes after independents and center-right voters drifted away from them in 2022, seeing the party as too Trumpy or extreme or chaotic. This pours salt in an open wound. https://t.co/eQKV0yqxUl — PolitiTweet.org

Some context here: It’s not just Santos. The same language appeared for numerous other freshman members on their new websites. Here’s Robert Garcia’s site — also incorrect as nobody was sworn in: https://t.co/8sT8wMq4XG — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
This George Santos press release contains three false claims in three sentences: (1) He was not sworn in today, (2) He was not officially added to the rolls of the House, because (3) He didn’t take the oath of office. That occurs after a Speaker is elected. https://t.co/0du0UOX8iX — PolitiTweet.org

New pro-McCarthy case brewing: @RepJimBanks tells @IngrahamAngle he’ll vote for @GOPleader again tomorrow; “my biggest fear” is a GOP-Dem coalition Speaker, Banks says. “That would be devastating.” And here’s @NancyMace with a similar critique of @mattgaetz: https://t.co/sueTRWkw9W — PolitiTweet.org

The Speaker's gavel has become a four-dimensional Rubik's cube for Kevin McCarthy and it's not clear he can crack it with these numbers.

.@AOC tells @AlexWagner: "It's about the cards that are in McCarthy's hands. And if he chooses to approach the Democratic caucus, then that would be a negotiation in and of itself for a potential coalition government.

“We have to make a choice today: Are we going to be the party of the radical 2%? Because that’s what it comes down to,” says @RepKatCammack. “Kevin McCarthy will be the speaker of the House — and I don’t care if it’s the first ballot or the 97th ballot.” https://t.co/eQKV0yq04N — PolitiTweet.org

And the third ballot is officially done. Once again, nobody is elected Speaker. Hakeem Jeffries gets 212 votes. Kevin McCarthy gets 202, with 20 Republicans defecting — one more than on the first two ballots. https://t.co/JqKbpUOupF — PolitiTweet.org

Kevin McCarthy gets a new defector: Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Florida. He voted for McCarthy on the first two ballots and just voted JIM JORDAN on the third. Applause in the chamber from anti-McCarthy forces. — PolitiTweet.org

Chip Roy, rejecting Steve Scalise's request to back McCarthy, stands up to nominate Jim Jordan for Speaker. "This is about the future of the country. This is about the direction of the country," he says. Now happening: Third ballot for Speaker. — PolitiTweet.org

Scalise seeks to rally Republicans to pick a Speaker so they can vote on conservative bills about energy and immigration. "We won a majority talking bout fixing those problems. But we can't start fixing those problems until we elect Kevin McCarthy as our next speaker." — PolitiTweet.org

Immediately, Steve Scalise takes the mic to nominate Kevin McCarthy for Speaker, again. "We all came here to get things done. To get big things done," he says. "Not just talking about what the problems are — we know what the problems are — but how do you fix those problems?" — PolitiTweet.org
