The final vote tally after the first round was:

Hakeem Jefferies - 212.

Gym JorDumb - 200

The magic number is 218.

Jefferies needs 218.

He needs 6-Republicans to defect. Seven or Eight would be better. There are at least 12-Republicans from very deep Purple Districts in states won by Mr. Biden. They need to be conviced that working with Mr. Jefferies is better than suffering with JorDumb.

The vote to oust McCarthy was the Freedom Caucus getting rid of a RINO that was willing to compromise with the goddamn Democrats.

The votes against Jordan are about 20 of the stupid RINOs that want to continue to destroy this country by compromising with the asshole Democrats and think Jordan is too Conservative.

Fuck the idiot Democrats and RINOs.

Jordan loses again.

Republican Jim Jordan Loses Third House Vote As Opposition Grows.

Republican Jim Jordan loses third US House vote as opposition grows

Hardline conservative Republican Jim Jordan on Friday lost a third vote to become speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, leaving the leaderless chamber unable to respond to President Joe Biden's request for aid to Ukraine and Israel.

WASHINGTON, Oct 20 (Reuters) - Hardline conservative Republican Jim Jordan on Friday lost a third vote to become speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, leaving the leaderless chamber unable to respond to President Joe Biden's request for aid to Ukraine and Israel.

Opposition to his candidacy from within his party grew, with 25 Republican lawmakers voting against him, more than the 22 who had opposed in the second round on Wednesday. Jordan received 194 votes, well short of the 214 he needed to claim the speaker's gavel.

Now ending its third workweek without a leader, the House cannot act on a $106 billion national-security package unveiled by Biden on Friday that would bolster U.S. border security and send billions to Israel and Ukraine.

Third Time Ain't Charm for JorDumb.

Republicans are receiving death threats if they do not vote for JorDumb. IF JorDumb knows about these death threats and does nothing to stop them, he then a party to those threats. Is he really that desparate?

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Alright. Dems, go get yourselves six GOP members to give up their careers to vote for you.

Republicans Drop Jim Jordan As Their Nominee For Speaker, Falling Back To Square One.

House Republicans drop Jim Jordan as their nominee for speaker, falling back to square one

Republicans have dropped Jim Jordan as their nominee for House speaker in a private meeting. This comes after Jordan failed Friday in a third try for the speaker's gavel.

apnews.com

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans dropped Rep. Jim Jordan on Friday as their nominee for House speaker, making the decision during a closed-door session after the hard-edged ally of Donald Trump failed badly on a third ballot for the gavel.

The blocked-House impasse deepening, Republicans have no realistic or workable plan to unite the fractured GOP majority, elect a new speaker and return to the work of Congress that has been languishing since hard-liners ousted Kevin McCarthy at the start of the month.

Majority Leader Steve Scalise said they’re going “come back and start over” on Monday.

In all, Jordan lost 25 Republican colleagues in Friday’s vote, leaving him far from the majority needed, with next steps uncertain.

Ahead of the vote, Jordan showed no signs of stepping aside, insisting at a Capitol press conference: “The American people are hungry for change.”

The fucked up GOP can't even goven 1/2 of 1/3 of the branches of government.
