Senate race over there. some of the votes here, not just today, but how they act in this majority over the next two years, some of that will be performative with a look ahead towards a republican primary for the u.s. senate. >> you have two members, zinke and rosendale. >> thats fascinating. >> montana is so -- >> your point on oversight is right. zinke, in fact, was subject to it when he was secretary of the interior and had to leave in a scandal. >> back to jake. >> all right. thanks so much, ...

It those three are absent, republicans have 219. democrats have 212 in the chamber. that adds up to 431. the magic number there would be 216. meaning that with those three absences in any scent vote, mccar thi now can only afford to have three defections. so while hes made significant progress here, and well see if he continues to make progress with the rest of the names called, keep in mind as you look at this list, to win today with who is in the chamber, he can only have three defections. you...

Donalds, one for donald trump yesterday or voting present. there are 21 republicans who consistently have not been voting for kevin mccarthy. the way the math is going to break down, were told theres one republican who has been supporting mccarthy who is not going to be present today. so that means that if everybody else is there, democrat and republican, that means there would be 433 members in the chamber. 221 of them would be republicans and 212 of them would be democrats. the magic number, i...

So far mccarthy opponents are not willing to embrace his concessions. >> the devil is in the details and we will look at it and cismd it is common sense proposals that quite frankly mr. mccarthy had sixed eight weeks ago. we are excited having these changes made. it should have been done anyway. >> the biggest problem could be lawmakers who are absent. three are out today. that changes the vote cocktail necessary to win. as we say, it is all about the math. >> harris: all about the math and all ...

As long as you keep four or five and vote by name. if they cut a deal where they vote present, if five or six vote present and have converts then kevin mccarthy can win. the question is do they finally agree to a concession like that or do they just determine even if their numbers shrink they want to humiliate him and deny him the speakership and will not blink. >> the other potential scenario, if they cant convince whatever were going to see at the end of this, the five, six, seven, who are sti...

♪ the peanut butter box is here. ♪ ♪ the peanut butter box is here ♪ alright, im out. pet prescriptions delivered to your door. chewy. we are now just minutes away from the house gaveling in day four of the bruising battle for speaker. the big question, will today look exactly like the previous three? and if yes, how much longer will kevin mccarthys supporters wait before deciding they need to move to a plan "b." joining me now is ryan nobles, steve kornacki is at the big board, back w...

The other thing this does with donalds joining with the pro-mccarthy folks, it shows anti-mccarthy folks dont have a consensus candidate. jim jordan doesnt want to be speaker. he made that clear. his name has been in contention before. hern does not want to be speaker. his name has been in contention. they are split. it weakens the anti-mccarthy position. the other thing to watch, mccarthy has by my math -- he has enough votes to adjourn after that. if he keeps those folks voting for him and the...

During the capitol siege as well as various election officials and other elected officials who helped preserve american democracy on january 6th and the days leading up to it. while you were watching president biden, the house wrapped up its 13th vote. ballot number 13, and they, again, did not elect a speaker of the house. no one got enough votes. right now, they are all voting on a motion to adjourn. that is -- thats the motion right now being voted on. lets get right to cnns manu raju. we hav...

Of it? so what are we watching for, number one, how many never kevins are there still and what is the final number on this vote because we know several members -- i shouldnt say several. you need a majority of those who vote for a candidate by name and so can kevin mccarthy unlikely to get it on this vote but how many members are actually there? how many members vote by name? do some of these other anti-mccarthy votes, the hold-outs in the past few days if they dont vote for him are they willing...

You could tell he was as optimistic as he had ever been. and clearly, he had good reason to be. our reporting from overnight that this morning held firm, in terms of those numbers actually coming to fruition on the house floor. his negotiating team was able to get, you know, the ten to 15, ultimately we saw it was 15 people that they thought they would get with that negotiation on board, and this is what they always thought was going to happen, the fact that they would have a phase one that got ...
