Votes. this could be the fifth vote. >> cloud, donalds. >> and there it is. so that is again, five votes for congressman donalds which means as we all recall, kevin mccarthy can only afford to lose four republican votes and he has lost a fifth republican vote. this is the sixth ballot, and the sixth time that kevin mccarthy lost it in the "cs". they were voting alphabetically, and he did it again. >> that lady made a joke about drinking on the floor. they're sitting here going around and around, waiting for this. the republicans we have been speaking with that after this round, the plan is lik...

Have to get 218 republicans to adjourn. however, in a positive sign for mccarthy, chip roy told manu that they are seeing good faith negotiations, so, perhaps a deal will be worked out that some of these hard-liners will agree to the motion to adjourn so that they could go into meetings, and try to regroup. of course, there are a couple of questions there, first of all, they have to figure out how many people are gettable. chip roy was long seen as someone who is gettable t. it's unclear how many more people are in that camp. but, they're going to try and figure that out. that's what they're d...

Rodney davis alluded to this just a second ago in talking to you, jake, why we're seeing this kind of strange moment on the floor right now where they haven't rolled yet straight into this sixth ballot. i think there is a realization among mccarthy supporters that if they get started, and the ball rolls on this, and ken buck is close to the beginning of the alphabet, this is going to be an early chance for what he intends to do, and davis said earlier while, and again he repeated, buck may not speak for a huge majority of the conference. >> right. >> he may not just be speaking for himself. >>...

Support. abby phillip, i don't know what ken buck is doing, but he might be just kind of waiting to get the lay of the land before he makes his decision. >> yeah, and just to see what happens in this latest vote before anything changes. last time he waited until the end as well, but, you know, the interesting thing is that buck said to us, it's either negotiate or get out of the game, and as manu just reported, there is a little bit of movement to at least have some -- to have some talks this afternoon, and so i'm not sure how that will affect his vote, frankly. maybe he will give it more time...
