his endorsement but with some of these votes, i got to question that. >> yeah. manu raju, let's go to you now because now we have 16 votes, republican votes against kevin mccarthy, congressman andy biggs just got his ninth vote. that's 16. he can only afford to lose four. manu, what's going to happen? >> it's going in the wrong direction. this was not what they expected several days ago. remember, yesterday it looked like there were about 14 votes, five hard no votes, nine republicans who were skeptical who suggested perhaps they could ultimately vote for him if maybe some changes were made but they've had meetings that did not go well. one last night in which they presented a number of changes that they wanted. key committee assignments that kevin mccarthy said they could not agree to at this point because that is not the way the process works. that did not go over well for those members. then you saw the tense meeting with mccarthy where he tried to shame those members into getting behind him. also did not work.
