Stefanik kicks things off by nominating Jim Jordan. She claims Jordan will be "America's speaker"

Yikes -- Stefanik is jeered when she mentions Jordan's background "on the wrestling mat"

"We are here because the House has been thrown into chaos ... a vote today to make the architect of a nationwide abortion ban, a vocal election denier, and an insurrection inciter [as Speaker] would be a terrible message " -- Aguilar nominates Hakeem Jeffries

Aguilar drops the oppo file on Jim Jordan, but doesn't mention Jordan's alleged involvement in a sexual abuse coverup

Aguilar on Jordan: "If the goal is to continue taking marching orders from a twice impeached former president with more than 90 impending felony charges, then there is a candidate for you"

Bacon votes for McCarthy -- the first Republican not to vote for Jordan

Buck doesn't vote

Chavez-DeRemer becomes the second Republican to vote for McCarthy

Connolly is jeered after he said something about Jordan being a "noted insurrectionist"

wheels are off. Zeldin and Scalise get votes from Republicans.

a Republican votes for someone named Garcia -- meaning Jordan already doesn't have the votes this round

Lee Zeldin has gotten multiple votes from Republicans lmao

Scalise gets another vote -- and the reaction is kinda like somebody ripping a loud, stinky fart in church

big applaud for Jeffries after he votes for himself

Jordan get applauded by Republicans for voting for himself

the murmuring whenever a Republican votes for someone other than Jordan gets me every time

Lee Zeldin! Who knew Republicans loved him so much?

McCarthy votes for Jordan and gets some applause for it

Adding predicting things and counting votes to the list of activities McCarthy is not good at
