"Now he is also getting some pushback in the room" Raju continued. "Our sources are telling our Capitol Hill team that [Rep.] Lauren Boebert said 'bullshit' in response to what Kevin McCarthy said." RS

No speeches, quite a show. Dems are holding firm with 212 votes for Jeffries.
I think Kevin is done, 20 Repubs opposed to him in Vote #3.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In a historic setback, Representative Kevin McCarthy has failed a math test for the first time since high school.

Witnesses in Congress said that the California lawmaker sat ashen-faced as it appeared that, once again, he was no match for arithmetic.

According to a source close to the congressman, failing math brought back “terrible memories” for McCarthy.

“Kevin failed countless math tests as a kid,” the source said. “That doesn’t make what happened today any easier.”

After it became clear that math had defeated him once more, McCarthy, sitting alone in the House chamber, could be heard muttering to himself. “Numbers . . . my old enemy,” he said, bitterly.

Lindsey Graham @LindseyGrahamSC
How does this end? When Kevin McCarthy secures 213 votes - one more than Hakeem Jeffries.

To those Republicans who suggest it is better to have Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker you must understand that means backing policies like:

▶️ DC statehood.
▶️ Puerto Rican statehood.

Repugs don't even try to hide their blatant racism anymore. Sigh.
