End of round one of voting for House speaker.
Updated first round vote count: McCarthy (R) - 203Jeffries (D) - 212Biggs (R) - 10Others - 9
@w7voa so where is this all going? Given that the opposition to McCarthy is led by far righters and whoever gets elected speaker will ultimately need their votes I worry it will end up being someone even worse than McCarthy.
