Kevin McCarthy again falls short in third round of voting for House speaker – live
McCarthy loses third vote
The tally in this third round of voting came out to 212 forJeffries, 202 for McCarthy and 20 for Jordan. Again, no one has a majority.
It’s unclear for how long this will go on. “The reality is Rep. Kevin McCarthy doesn’t have the votes,” said Bryon Donalds, who defected from McCarthy in the third round. “Our conference needs to recess and huddle and find someone or work out the next steps.” McCarthy loses third vote
The tally in this third round of voting came out to 212 forJeffries, 202 for McCarthy and 20 for Jordan. Again, no one has a majority.
It’s unclear for how long this will go on.
Representative Byron Donalds, a Republican of Florida, has become the first McCarthy supporter to switch his vote from McCarthy to Jordan.
In the third round of voting, 20 Republican lawmakers voted against McCarthy for speaker -- the highest amount so far. Those votes went to Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio.
In the first two rounds, 19 Republicans voted for a different candidate. Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., voted for McCarthy two times before changing his vote to Jordan.
McCarthy received 202 votes in the latest round, making it the third time he’s trailed Democratic Rep. Hakeem Jeffries. Democrats have already elected Jeffries to be their caucus leader in the new Congress.
