Kevin McCarthy is within two votes of winning the Speakership if you count the absent Republicans who would have voted for him. There is no doubt in my mind that Kevin will cross the aisle and get Democrats to vote for him to win if need be. He will then pay them back at the Republicans’ expense. That’s who Kevin is.
The next vote is scheduled for 10 pm tonight.
Rep. Gaetz thought he could hold back ten votes from McCarthy; however, McCarthy’s side thinks they can overcome the opposition by isolating Gaetz – who wasn’t invited to negotiations on Wednesday but showed up anyway.
The six current holdouts are Gaetz, Biggs, Boebert, Crane, Good, and Rosendale. McCarthy needs two of them.
After initial reports that there was a deal, McCarthy said there isn’t one, but they are in a “great place.”
He then shouted at journalists to get off the call in which it was discussed.
Summary:
– McCarthy loses 11 votes for speaker
– Today, is reported to claim he has a deal on a call
– Walks it back saying he doesn’t have a call but is in a great place
– Is now shouting at journalists to get off the call and he doesn’t have a deal https://t.co/GPsLPPxiZw— Newsquawk (@Newsquawk) January 6, 2023
Andy Harris just voted for McCarthy — a big get for McCarthy.
He had been seeking a subcommittee gavel on the appropriations panel. McCarthy had said gavels were not part of the talks.— Manu Raju (@mkraju) January 6, 2023
Spartz really isn’t a flip since she never voted against him, just “present”

What Bo says in the next tweet is so true. The Republican Party has been a joke since the 1990s. McCarthy is a swamp creature, but we could do worse and get Steve Scalise.
Tom – will all due respect and love at ya – the Republican Party has proven itself to be a joke for almost 3 decades now. They have lied repeatedly about what they promised Americans to do. They have failed to investigate fully corruption. And a lot more. https://t.co/VhveFtfQ76

Back room deals. Nothing new. The rest will cave soon when they get what they want.
At 10pm the Swamp Creatures will come out; and go hit the Bars. When Congress is called to order, there will be just enough Democrats to ensure a Quorum. It’s a Friday Night so no one will be watching the Charade. There will be at best, I suspect, 400 Members that will show up. Then only 201 members will be needed to elect McCarthy.
This was the Inside Deal from the beginning. McCarthy is a RINO and will do the Bidding of the Liberal Communist Democrats so the Democrats and McCarthy worked this out last month. McCarthy will LEGALLY steal the Election for Speaker tonight. McCarthy will give Democrats everything they want because he is in a safe California RINO seat. McCarthy is bought and paid for by Big Tech Oligarch money and America has the best politicians money can buy.
Trump knew the fix was in. Trump is now going have to deal with a call to Split the Party and a 3rd Party bid for President is a long shot, even for President Trump! Now we know the Uniparty 2024 Game Plan. Come 2024, Republicans will have to be better at stealing Ballots then Democrats if the Republics are going to have a chance.
We let the Uniparty steal the 2020 Election and now they think they are invincible! Since they have no morals they will change the Rules and the Law as needed to stay in Power. The chance for Civil War will be 90% in 2023!
Next Phase = Passing the “Enabling Act”
McCarthy is in bed with China, but I guess that doesn’t matter to most of the RINOs in DC.
“In a good place” means using inside deals and intimidation to get what he wants. The idea of a deal reached was just another lie from the media and RINOs. The negotiations have failed repeatedly for 2 months. Nothing is on paper.
There is very little hope for America or the GOP anyways, disruption of the establishment is the best path.
I sure would like Gosar to explain his switch.
