Darrell Issa, worth at least $250 million, comes through the House press gallery and informs us that he's here to steal our $0.50 soda (a price which we supplement through our congressional reporter dues). Thanks, Congressman. — PolitiTweet.org

The funny thing about this insistence on just voting again and again is that Kevin McCarthy is just gonna be taking L’s again and again. — PolitiTweet.org

Kevin McCarthy denied the speakership once again on the second ballot, with the same 19 Republicans who voted against him the first time doing it again on the second. Only this time, all 19 voted for Jim Jordan. https://t.co/2Ng2qTCsfo — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
The same 19 Republicans who voted against Kevin McCarthy on the first ballot—spread among five candidates—have coalesced behind Jim Jordan on the second ballot. Jordan received all 19 of their votes. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
One interesting development right now is that at least two Democrats—Rosa DeLauro and Ruben Gallego—have missed their chance to vote (they can still vote at the end). But if Democrats miss the vote, they'll effectively lower the threshold McCarthy would need to be elected. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
McCarthy's 19 GOP detractors spread their votes out on the first ballot among five candidates, and now appear to be voting for Jim Jordan exclusively. I don't think they're growing in number — maybe! — but the gambit is meant to manufacture some momentum that may not exist. — PolitiTweet.org

The votes that were for Andy Biggs on the first ballot appear to be going for Jim Jordan on the second ballot. It's almost like it was all orchestrated, like it was all part of the plan. — PolitiTweet.org

You know, Republicans like to talk about the swamp on here, but I'm looking at former Rep. Kevin Yoder, standing on the House floor to witness this history, and he's currently part of a lobbying group taking Saudi Arabia's money to push LIV Golf on Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

Kevin McCarthy is having a good chuckle in his seat, currently texting some folks. I think he may have just realized he got played. — PolitiTweet.org

Jim Jordan making an *impassioned* speech for Kevin McCarthy, and then Matt Gaetz making an *impassioned* speech for Jim Jordan that he TOTALLY hadn't prepared and isn't printed out. I believe the term here is "Kabuki theater." — PolitiTweet.org

Matt Gaetz now nominating Jim Jordan. WHO COULD HAVE POSSIBLY SEEN THIS COMING??!?!?!? — PolitiTweet.org

Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
Jim Jordan is now making a nominating speech for Kevin McCarthy. You, very smart: It's because Jordan wants unity and this is good politics for him. Me, very dumb: It's because Jordan wants to ultimately be speaker and he wants to be seen as trying to unify the conference rn. — PolitiTweet.org

No one has a majority. Straightforward from here. https://t.co/i6qvotbiX3 — PolitiTweet.org

Not on the second ballot, but I think Patrick McHenry could end up as speaker and betting markets probably have him at less than one percent? — PolitiTweet.org

Just dropping in this little tidbit from our story last night, as Jim Jordan stands at a podium reviewing some notes.

Jim Jordan is at a podium scribbling down some notes. He may be preparing to make a speech. Kevin McCarthy is standing about three feet away from him, yucking it up and taking pictures. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
I don't know what the plan is here. They could try to adjourn and do some more negotiating, or they could hold more votes. But the speaker roll call vote takes over an hour and it doesn't seem like anyone is going to be moving at the moment. — PolitiTweet.org
