[quote=Anonymous]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. [/quote]
