Nope it's still 4 that he can lose. 5 or more and he doesn't have the votes. |

answering my own question here:
McCarthy appears to lose 13th round despite gaining momentum From CNN's staff Rep. Kevin McCarthy appears to have suffered defeat on a 13th ballot for House speaker despite gaining momentum and some holdout votes. To clinch the speakership, McCarthy either needs more GOP hardliners to flip their votes or to vote "present," to lower the threshold Only McCarthy and Democrat Rep. Hakeem Jeffries were nominated for this round of voting — unlike previous rounds when hardline Republicans put up someone in opposition to McCarthy. Why CNN says "appears to" suffer a defeat before the gavel goes down: Members-elect have the ability to change their votes before the vote is gaveled over. CNN is following along and tallying the voice votes as they happen, but it's important to be clear that anything could technically change before the vote ends. |

| None of the major websites are reporting a win or loss before the fact, contrary to the previous ballots. It's probably because it's so close now, one change of heart or "present" vote can change the outcome. |

| Thank you, PP with the info from CNN. Even though I thought I was paying attention, I didn't realize they could change votes after voicing a choice. |

Thirteen. Lucky 13,
Not so lucky, He’s not so lucky. They call him Unlucky Kev. He’s lost so many times. Whatta loser. So much losing. But if he ends up winning, If he ends up winning, I backed him, And backed him very strongly. Just so you understand. |

At the rate that McCarthy is giving up everything he can in exchange for votes, Boebert will probably end up chairing the rules committee |
