Allow me to explain a little. They just did a 14th vote for Speaker and even though McCarthy got 216, the two “present” votes should have allowed him to win since that takes the threshold down to 216 to win.
Apparently though there was one vote missing ( only 434 votes so he did not win because they have to have every vote accounted for. so they are doing a 15th vote.
Did they just not replace Quinton Williams?
Am I the only one feeling special needs right now?

Quentin serves the state Congress of CT, not the US Congress.
