I’ll leave this pinned for 24 hours so everyone can catch up, then take it down.
1st vote count is in:
Hakeem Jeffries - 212 (217 needed to win)
Jim Jordan - 200
Steve Scalise - 7
Kevin McCarthy - 6
“Others” - 7
Jordan could have only lost 4 votes, he lost 20.
2nd vote:
Jeffries - 212
Jordan - 199
Scalise - 7
McCarthy - 5
Zeldin - 3
“Others” - 7 (one each)
Edit 3rd vote is in, House in recess.
Jeffries - 210
Jordan - 194
Scalise - 8
McHenry - 6
Zeldin - 4
Donalds - 2
McCarthy - 2
“Others” - 3 (1 each)
Matt Gaetz has vowed to oppose expanding the powers for McHenry:
LMAO!! HE ALREADY LOST!!
He already lost again.
Let’s not forget yesterday’s monumental achievement.
Looks like he gained 3 votes (including someone who wasn’t present yesterday), and lost 4, so he ended up at 199.
(John Boehner got a vote, lol)
As if Boehner isn’t blasting bongloads of dank bud in his shed right now.
He ain’t got time for this bullcocky.
At this point I’m just hanging out to see if he bleeds more votes which I think he will
AND HE DID! WHAT AN ACCOMPLISHMENT FROM THE ASSHOLE FROM OHIO!
