Both Nancy Pelosi and Adam Shiff missed this vote and I’ve noticed quite a few other silent no votes…

McCarthy votes coming in, 1 new one for Donalds (compared to last vote).
McCarthy also lost another to “present”.

Jackson-Lee, Pelosi, Presley, Shiff, votes Jeffries in second chance vote at end.

Wondering if there’s been some back room dealing going on between dem leadership and sections of GOP and that’s where they disappeared to. Next vote will tell.

Very high probability that this is happening.

Senior Dems are trying to get this freak show sorted out.

My best guess.

Thanks for the update.

..do a few present votes each count until they are within 1 or 2 of giving Jefferies the vote and then demand the shit out of Kevin cuz the NEXT vote will give Jefferies the speakership
