Kevin McCarthy Fails for a Thirteenth Time

After a thirteenth round of voting, the House failed once again to elect a speaker.

The vote totals for the thirteenth round:

• Kevin McCarthy – 214
• Hakeem Jeffries – 212
• Other – 6
• Present – 0

McCarthy has now flipped 15 of the 21 Republican holdouts today.

However, the group of six remaining GOP holdouts — Gaetz, Crane, Rosendale, Boebert, Biggs and Good — appeared unified and were sitting together in a row.

There were two Republican members — Rep. Ken Buck and Wesley Hunt. GOP leadership expects both to return to Washington tonight.
