hah keep jeffries. cleaver? jeffries. cline? kevin mccarthy. cloud? jim jordan. clyburn? jeffries. clyde? biggs. cohen? hakeem jeffries. cole? mccarthy. collins? as we listen to the roll being called by my count, five republicans have voted against mccarthy for speaker. two voted for jim jordan, one included boebert. and two for andy biggs. garrett haake, by my count that s five and he could only lose four. on this first role call, he said he will keep this going vote after vote until they get worn down or something breaks. is that your take? we never call votes until they are over, but in this case, i now count six, one more since we came on the air. clyde voting for andy biggs, one of the leaders of this rebel group. six republicans so far voting against kevin mccarthy. if the math holds through the remainder of the alphabet, as we have every reason to expect it will, with all democrats voing for hakeem jeffries, we do appear to be in a s
hard line opposition to mccarthy, does that indicate an intransigence on their part? it might be more well established with the other nine. if he continues to have ten defections, mccarthy just can t get the votes. he s going to have to get biggs voters to his side. and as we wrap this up, steve kornacki, such valuable information. brendan buck, you know the history. this could go for days. it could and steve s right. those ten who voted for biggs, that s the core of his opposition. jim jordan got six. if he can work the floor, say i appreciate you voting for me, next time vote for mccarthy, shows movement in his direction, that could be a good sign. yamiche in five seconds, we might be here tomorrow doing the same thing, but it s a fascinating history. it s fascinating. a bit embarrassing for the republicans and it s historic to cover. and our thanks to all of you
