Bridges. and these guys are coming to blows with each other. i want to point out this vote is not finished yet. it is not closed. i saw someone giving one of these to suggest that someone is suggesting they close the vote. but it s not close. there s an active negotiation going glad. ali, do you know who stops or starts this vote. where someone can say, we re done? or they re gonna try to keep it open as much as they can? there s no speaker to keep it open or to close it. so i think this is up to the clerk. i will check on that. but i ve been texting some members on the floor on the democratic side. and they could not hear what was going on. to everyone on that side, the body language is evidence enough of what was happening. it s just mccarthy begging in front of the full american public in all of the cameras here. and all of his colleagues to get matt gates in his corner to vote to yes. i think a lot of people are playing the waiting game right now. figuring out where this goes n ....

Democrats who are on the floor right now tell me that they believe that republicans currently have the vote. as you heard in the chamber, democrats are vehemently against this vote because they believe that, look, republicans need to get the house in order without a speaker. the work of the house cannot go forward. and they are concerned about what needs to be done for the american people. so if this passes, which, again folks are telling me they are assuming that to be the case. the house will not come back until monday, at the very earliest there s no scenario if this passes that folks will come back tomorrow. there s no scenario if this passes that folks will come back tomorrow afternoon. we re at 199 yays, 213 nays. it s interesting because there are 212 is the number of 12 votes that jeffries has been ....
