vote he cast it earlier. which underscores what you all are saying, this so much irony to this. for those of us who followed every twist in turn. coming down to matt gaetz voting gaetz not only was the one who was regularly saying he would never vote yet for mccarthy. but he s also the same one who trolled mccarthy for moving his death into the speaker office day two of this process. the irony here just has so many layers to it. it looks like that s where we are. look, i m just looking at. this were about 300 where are we? 360 we should be getting to the end of this thing relatively quickly we have about 30 or 40 votes to. go and then they re gonna start again, steve. and we will hear from buck. and then we re going to hear from gaetz. i m writing it alphabetically in the order that you will cvs names called
on board, that will also be enough. kevin mccarthy will be the speaker. again, alphabetically, rosendale is the 335th name they re gonna call. they re currently in about the 250 s. so, there s quite a bit of time between here in there. again, when they get to 434, everyone who hasn t answered alphabetically, we ll start working through that list. so, we should get too buck quickly, gaetz not too far after that. and gosar. right, let s bring in ali vitali, our capitol hill correspondent, who s been following this very closely. ali, a lot of developments tonight. lauren boebert, voting present after implying on fox news. let s see what happens tonight, which is a bit of a change of tone for her. we ve got, as steve just said, gaetz, rosendale, gosar, one of them is going to be a headline maker tonight about the whole thing. gaetz has said on fox news as well that he s run out of things to ask for. what do you know about the situation? reporter: look, i read that, ali, as a bit of spi
gomez? jeffries. tony gonzales? mccarthy. gonzales? jeffries. good of virginia? jordan. and good has voted for jordan. so, that is not going to solve the problem. let s go through the math again. so, not a surprise. he was by far the most dug in. so, the lone remaining name here on the holdout list that we have to go through this first one is rosendale. it s gonna be a long time before they get to rosendale, alphabetically. he is 335th. the one other thing that s going to come out about 30 names from now is wesley hunt. with the hunt, as i put his name here, was the other pro
yet a third if kevin mccarthy is the one who will be elected speaker of the house on behalf of the republican party. that is presuming everything else goes according to plan as it did first. let s bring in steve kornacki. he s at the board for us. so let s talk about what we ve heard. interesting in terms of the numbers, steve, but also a dynamic shift. we have not heard the roll call mention biggs. he himself also through his vote towards jim jordan. he s the one who seems to be picking up momentum. so what happened as you saw was that matt gaetz, who was against mccarthy on the first ballot, had voted for biggs. he nominated jim jordan. jim jordan, who has been backing kevin mccarthy, delivered a nominating speech for mccarthy, but here s the list. these are the 19 republicans who on the first ballot voted against mccarthy. voted for someone else. they re working through it alphabetically. biggs was nominated. let me get that back up there. he has voted for jordan.
do in a moment like this? do you just wait for different leaders? i hope we don t have to do that. i hope that the president will decide, this is a time now when it matters. you saw senator mccain in his election, you know, to quiet the woman who was denigrating barack obama, we need that kind of action today, action that tones down the rhetoric. but that s far from where we are. i just hope that it will change. and as an elected official, we don t have as big a microphone as the president, but we can speak up and we should. what are some actions should i remember after gabby giffords was shot, there was an attempt to present some bipartisan opportunities. i had somebody out here in my audience who said, you know what? all of congress should sit
