Aaaaand Gaetz just voted for Jordan, and there was another long pause as the woman doing roll call realized this stupidest of all Groundhog’s Days was never, ever going to end. #uspol #SpeakerOfTheHouss

Black smoke means no Pope. Unseasonable warm weather in DC mean no Speaker of the House. #Speaker #speakerofthehouss #SpeakerBid #WellKevin ##housevote

Neither Kevin McCarthy nor Hakeem Jeffries has enough possible votes to be elected Speaker of the House on the first ballot. This is the first time since 1923 that a Speaker was not elected during the first round of voting. The question now is if the Republicans backing Biggs will vote for McCarthy or if a handful of centrist Republicans will break with the party and go for Jeffries. #news #breakingnews #politics #uspolitics #congress #hakeemjeffries #kevinmccarthy #andybiggs #speakerofthehouss
