Well, Kevin didn't make it on the first ballot.
Until we have a Speaker, gridlock ensues, and chaos becomes inevitable.
It is interesting to watch. What I think is interesting is that the Speaker administers the oath to the other member of the House, and until there is a Speaker, no one is sworn in. They are all Representative-elect until the Speaker gets the gavel.
At this point, Kevin doesn't have the votes. I think that he knew that going in, so what is the endgame? If he can't get the votes, why is he in the race?

Like sausage being made, its best if you don't see some things in life.
Good! I hope he doesn't get it; he wouldn't do what is needed.
I find it interesting that now the majority party chooses the speaker; it used to be that the whole House did and at times the speaker wasn't from the majority party.
I wonder if he is waiting for an opportunity to get Dems votes? I'm sure they'd vote for a weak speaker over a strong one if they get the chance...
