What's the point of continuing to hold votes unless some sort of deal or agreement has been reached between 2 of the 3 groups that are involved in this (Dems, Most Reps, and HFC)??
This is why Republicans suck at governing. Ever since 2008 it has been political suicide to even be perceived to be negotiating in good faith with Democrats for all but the most moderate of Republicans. It is also why Democrats can't take "in good faith" any deal Republicans appear to agree to because there is no guarantee that they will actually follow through with it. I'm not even sure if the GOP is attempting to negotiate this, but it would seem that the 2 months prior to this point would have been a good time to figure this out. McCarthy sucks at everything though so he didn't bother to do this and just hoped things would work out apparently.

I'd keep them there all night. But do the unforgivable take away their phones.
Love the spin about a party that can't act as a unit when it comes to the first and most basic function which is picking a leader.
5th vote coming now, same nominees as fourth vote. Trump had zero impact.
I'm not sure how this ends.

Rousing speech from Ohio, I bet this vote without securing the 20 votes will result in his nomination and not McCarthy going 0-5.
Waiting for the D to stand up and say, look, Jefferies is our guy, we didn't just unload from a clown car.
Oh look, Bobert's dumbass has decided to join the talking. Wonder what it's like to get booed by your coworkers in a public forum. And to get no support post vote.
0-5 results incoming. McCarthy is going to have a worse record than the French army.

Democrat and moderate Republicans are going to have to find consensus. The far right is dug in.
McCarthy's biggest problem would be actually winning the speakership.
No way you can control your party with all the rules and procedural giveaways he's already conceded.
Could McCarthy be Speaker and get Dem votes if they split the committee chairmanships? Not sure what the Dems would need in order to go along with that. Starts to look a lot like Parliament.
They are going to need to give the Dems something just to get a speaker. I mean it's not the minority party's job to make sure the majority party elects it's speaker.
McCarthy just lost the fifth vote.
He would be out in 2 years because he'd lose his primary back home. McCarthy's problem is what can he give the Dems to make him speaker that won't cost him the primary back home?

And another ballot bites the dust for Kevin!
This is amazing, I hope they keep it up all spring.

Nor should they. This is the GOP mess, they broke it, they fix it.
None. Governing by divisiveness isn't going to work for them. years of it is coming home to roost.
edited - Also think it's funny, we see your black guy and raise you a blacker guy. Anyone else wonder if there is a component of Donalds' nomination?

How many present or non votes will it take before Jeffers gets it. Or is that not possible?

It’s for sure possible. I think the number is 7-8….but I’m not sure a present vote counts the same as no vote.
