    From what I’ve heard, the Republicans already know the first vote is going to fail. Their only goal at this point is to avoid the clown fiesta that happened for McCarthy, so I’d expect a long gap between the first failed vote and the second vote as they try and get all their ducks in a row.

      Jordan Still Doesn’t Have the Votes

      In a second secret vote in the House Republican Conference, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) got just 155 votes from members would said they vote for him on the House floor, with 55 saying they would not.

      Jordan is far short of the 217 votes he would need to win the speakership

        I’m cynical af, but my take is: never underestimate the “moderate republicans” willingness to bend the knee to the freedom caucus, and Trump.
