Trump Gets Only ONE Vote After Being Nominated for House Speaker
"Former President Donald Trump received only one vote on Thursday after he was nominated for speaker by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) ahead of the 11th round of voting.
Trump was one of four people nominated in the round. When the votes were tallied, he trailed Hakeem Jeffries D-NY), Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), and Rep. Kevin Hern (R-OK), among others.
The lone Trump vote among the anti-McCarthy holdouts will surely further the notion among Trump’s critics he has lost influence in the party.
Hern, who was not present for the vote, beat the former president by six votes. Trump lost to “others” by 11 while one Republican voted present."
