and without question in my mind, speaker emerita pelosi will go down in history as the greatest speaker of all-time! [applause] throughout her time, throughout her time, though in congress she has been a legendary legislator. a fabulous facilitator, and a no nonsense negotiator. we know that nancy pelosi is a woman of faith. a loving wife, a mother a five, a grandmother of nine. a defender of democracy. a voice for the voiceless, and a powerful champion for the children, the climate, charles cynthia, california, the caucus, the congress, and the constitution. thank you madam speaker for all that you have done! it is an honor to stand on your broad shoulders! [applause] as well, as well as the shoulders of the great steny ona, and the great jim climber. two consequential leaders in their own right.

Played this brilliantly. yep, this is his 15 minutes of fame, his 15th vote of fame, we re about to hear what matt gates does, does he vote president or does he not. gates? president. over and over again at this point. mccarthy voting presents doesn t change anything now. in fact, now mccarthy, gates voting president doesn t change anything. steve kornacki, but now mccarthy has a cushion. yes, basically mccarthy would have to lose people who have been voting for him on a previous ballot, that is the only thing that changes right now, the gates present vote, that actually means that if everybody else where the votes, there would be 430 total votes, and again, a majority there would be 2:16, and like we have been saying, mccarthy already has, he comes into this ballot,
