Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) lost a vote for speaker for the 14th time in a dramatic scene where Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) held out to be the deciding vote.
Gaetz ended up voting present to deny McCarthy.
Absolutely unreal.
The House then had narrowly voted to adjourn until Monday, but then GOP leaders changed their minds. There will apparently now be a 15th round of votes.
