Fitzpatrick the first new non-Jordan vote. NYT with a decent tracker: Live Count: Tracking the House Speaker Votes - The New York Times
So… it sounds like the goofus Kevin McCarthy is desperate to get Jordan in power to punish the country for his removal.

Three new no’s so far, and no new yes. Maybe he’ll just have them keep voting till he’s the only one voting for himself.
Next round he’ll vote no for himself. Reverse psychology to confuse the RINOs. CRAZY LIKE A FOX!
I think it’s great that everyone is taking their time with this and not rushing it through on a first vote, making sure they pick the very best Speaker they can find.
White noise? Is there any other kind of noise House Republicans produce?

Jordan tapping out
They should do it like one of those competitions they used to have where you could win a car if you were the last person touching it, if you take your hand off for any reason, you’re out. Make anyone that wants it touch the gavel and last one touching it wins the Speaker’s seat.

Why isn’t the vote done electronically?
Calling everyone up individually is a huge waste of time.
Sir we have norms in this institution. Don’t be ridiculous.

The nerve of even suggesting that there could possibly be a better way than the way the Founding Fathers™ envisioned.

If Zeldin can increase his total 33% on each vote, I think we’re 14 votes away from having a new speaker.
