Fell asleep before the third vote. 20 votes for Jordan now, so we've added another defector. Reconvening again tomorrow.
And here's that Trump statement I was looking for.
Or rather deliberate lack of statement.
Interesting.
I really am beginning to wonder now if Trump wanted someone other than McCarthy all along.
There would be absolutely no benefit whatsoever to publically burning his bridge to McCarthy and all of McCarthy's allies in congress when he can just let the house bring out the long knives for him while he keeps his hands clean and stays on good terms with the bulk of the house members.
Again, I'm probably reading too much 4D chess into this, but it is Trump after all. The guy is kind of a genius when it comes to this stuff.
Earlier today Trump endorsed Kevin McCarthy failed three times to win the vote for US Speaker of the House.

I wonder, if this drags on long enough, and if we start seeing even more defectors to Jordan tomorrow, will we eventually see Democrats start to shift their votes to McCarthy in order to end run Jordan, as from their perspective McCarthy would be the lesser of two evils?
If they wanted to do that Trump has kind of boxed them into a corner, because to do so they would have to vote for the very person Trump said he wanted to be Speaker.
Moves and countermoves.
