Hard to overstate the psychological/optical blow of *losing* support on the third ballot when you desperately need things to be heading the opposite direction. — PolitiTweet.org

And GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy loses his first vote: #FL19 Rep. Byron Donalds (R) votes for Jordan. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

While most of the attention is on the 19 hard-line R holdouts, just as pivotal to watch in the coming days are the few mods on either side w/ experience brokering deals across the aisle (Fitzpatrick/Bacon/Cole, Hoyer/Cuellar/Gottheimer, etc.). — PolitiTweet.org

I've seen enough: GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (R) will not win the speaker's gavel on the second ballot. — PolitiTweet.org

No surprise that McCarthy is falling short, but a dozen GOP defections before we even got to the letter "M" in the roll call is quite the surprise. — PolitiTweet.org

If the majority can't agree on a speaker on day one, just think how fraught the next two *years* of this House are going to be, legislatively. — PolitiTweet.org

To me, the most unbelievable part of this story isn't that someone lied/falsified their way to a seat in Congress. It's that no serious R bothered filing for #NY03 - a golden GOP pickup opportunity all cycle - even though there are plenty in local office. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Top House Republicans were well aware of Santos's dishonesty before the election/NYT article, w/ several expressing late concern/incredulity that he might win. Here's what I wrote in @CookPolitical on September 1st: https://t.co/1e5u7RFjOI — PolitiTweet.org

Fact: seven newly elected members of Congress were born after Speaker Nancy Pelosi was first elected to the House in 1987.* *If incoming #NY03 Rep. George Santos (R) hasn't misrepresented his age. — PolitiTweet.org

By my math, women and minorities will be 20% of the House GOP conference in 2023 - the highest share ever - and up from just 10% two years ago. — PolitiTweet.org

By my math, women and minorities will be 68% of the House Democratic caucus in 2023 - the highest share ever - and up from 47% ten years ago. — PolitiTweet.org

A good reminder that every year, there are a few people elected whose parties wanted nothing to do with them in the first place. #NY03 — PolitiTweet.org

Never seen a turnaround quite like this: the election deciding who succeeds late #VA04 Rep. Don McEachin (D) will take place in eight days, barely three weeks after his death. — PolitiTweet.org
