Not quite - they keep going until someone gets the majority of the votes. That is an important point. Remember we are dealing with the Uniparty here. I wouldn't put it past the RINOs to threaten to stay home and/or miss the vote. They would only need 11 of them to stay home and Jeffries would win 212-211.
Before you say it would never happen... Most of those people are already corrupt to the core. You don't think there aren't 11 RINOS that would take bribes of cash/committee memberships/"other stuff" and vote for Jeffries? They would all probably switch parties as well because they would be heroes to the dems.
I'm not saying this will happen, but deep down you all know it is possible. The Republican control of the House depends on a majority of members. In fact, if just 6 of them decided to switch parties to the dems they would take over immediately. IMHO that is more likely to happen than to have 11 just stay home, but either one would doom the republicans. I'm sure they could even get a Soros or Zuckerberg or Gates to pony up 50 million or so for 6 of them to switch parties tomorrow and it would only cost them $300M. Sounds like a bargain for complete control of the government and no roadblocks for their agenda.
Although I dont like McCarthy, this opens it up for Jeffries - a democrat!
He'll never get any more votes than 212 (All Dems there) and he would need 218 to win. NO Republican will vote for him.
They keep on going until someone gets 218.
