speakership because he was head of the minority party to nancy pelosi. in that race, pelosi had 216 votes, mccarthy had 209. he actually has fewer votes for him to be speaker today even though he has a majority -- dana bash, this is an ignominious defeat. it doesn't mean it's over. who knows what will happen on the second ballot. but it is difficult to see how this process ends with a speaker mccarthy. >> it's so incongruous the images we're seeing of him laughing and the reality is that he just made history not in a good way as being the first in 100 years, the first man to lose the speakership in the first round and you see on the screen that hakeem jeffries has 212 as you noted. well now he's conferencing with jim jordan who is a very powerful force who was actually has been in the last few weeks
