Less than 100 votes cast, aaaaaand for the ninth consecutive vote Kevin McCarthy already doesn't have the votes and goes to 0-for-9, with this fail mixing it up a bit by using TWO Never-Kevin Stunt candidates, Byron Donalds AND Kevin Hern.
In what's rapidly becoming an anti-climactic repeat in these posts, Hakeem Jeffiries once again…for the ninth straight time…got all 212 of his party's votes.
And in possibly the BEST news of the day, unless they come back for more futility and misery tonight, this is probably it for this nonsense until Monday, because these hacks only work a four day week.
It’s perhaps not unusual that the most contentious House speaker’s race in history happened just five years before the nation was ripped apart by a bloody Civil War.
Factionalism was a major problem in December 1855, when 21 House members initially ran for speaker. Issues dividing the country were both slavery and immigration; the American Party, also known as the Anti-Mason or “Know Nothing” party, had elected members to the House, as had the antislavery Free Soil Party.
The Republican Party, founded the year before, was still in its infancy.
The House continued voting for about two months and cast 133 ballots before settling on Rep. Nathaniel Banks of Massachusetts, a member of both the American Party and the Free Soil Party. Banks won 103 votes and Rep. William Aiken, D-S.C., won 100. Let's hold this up until the general population realizes that we do not need these morons on the job. In fact, the less they do, the better for the taxpayer.
3. A Record 133 Ballots
