Kevin McCarthy lost the 3rd elect House Speaker on Tuesday.
The winning Republican can just pay for to lose 4 votes! He should reach 218 votes to win the Speakership.
McCarthy currently lost 13 … and its not even midway over.
Republican ‘rebels’ have actually coalesced around Jim Jordan.
And GAETZ, who at first chose Biggs for speaker, now chooses JORDAN.
Confirms what @AnnieGrayerCNN @mkraju & & me initially reported about the McCarthy opposition coalescing around Jordan on the 2nd tally.
