As of yesterday, McCarthy did not have enough votes to become Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Kevin McCarthy was former Speaker Paul Ryan’s pick to lead the House Republicans after Paul Ryan abruptly left Congress. He now is in the position of running for Speaker of the House following the GOP’s win in the November midterm election. However, his actions while in leadership are too much for many conservatives to support him as Speaker.
Rep. Matt Gaetz from Florida doesn’t believe that McCarthy, based on his record, is who is needed as Speaker.

Matt Gaetz: Americans Want an Honest and Hard-Working Speaker of the House - Not Kevin McCarthy | The Gateway Pundit | by Joe Hoft

US GOP Representative Matt Gaetz isn’t buying the pro-McCarthy arguments for Speaker of the House. Gaetz and Americans want a hard-working and honest Speaker placed in Congress this week, not Kevin McCarthy.

Last night FOX News reported that some Republicans believe McCarthy as Speaker would “continue past and ongoing Republican failures”.
McCarthy needs 218 votes to become Speaker. This House has 222 Republicans in it.

FOX reports:
On Sunday afternoon, McCarthy met with GOP members to try and rally support for his speakership vote on Jan. 3, when the new Congress takes office. The embattled Republican leader conceded rank-and-file members will be allowed to call for the speaker’s removal, though he wasn’t clear about how many members would need to sign on to the motion, according to reports.
The meeting came after his letter on New Year’s Eve, titled “Restoring the People’s House and Ending Business as Usual,” which was his admission of the deep dysfunction of the House of Representatives and his pitch to make it right.
In response to McCarthy’s letter, GOP Reps. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, Paul Gosar of Arizona, Chip Roy of Texas, Dan Bishop of North Carolina, Andy Harris of Maryland and Andrew Clyde of Georgia, along with Rep.-elects Andy Ogles of Tennessee, Anna Paulina Luna of Florida and Eli Crane of Arizona sent a letter of their own.
“Regrettably, however, despite some progress achieved, Mr. McCarthy’s statement comes almost impossibly late to address continued deficiencies ahead of the opening of the 118th Congress on January 3rd,” the letter stated. “At this state, it cannot be a surprise that expressions of vague hopes reflected in far too many of the crucial points still under debate are insufficient. This is especially true with respect to Mr. McCarthy’s candidacy for speaker because the times call for radical departure from the status quo – not a continuation of past and ongoing, Republican failures.”

If McCarthy wants to win the House he will have to win over some of these individuals or pick up some Democrats. Some believe he may give the Democrats unheard-of power in the House so he can win Speakership. This would prove that those Republicans who don’t want a Speaker McCarthy were right all along.
Others believe that a different leader in the GOP will be selected. Individuals like Jim Jordan have been mentioned. Others believe that Congress needs a strong leader who could stand up to the Deep State and DC Establishment. President Trump’s name has been mentioned in this regard. He would certainly shake things up.
We’ll see what happens. The House is expected to vote for Speaker on Tuesday.
History shows that those in power rarely give it up.

It appears so but who knows - it's all over the internet. However, we do know he's a POS conspiracy theorist who did everything in his power to overturn the results in his state.

'Pure insanity': Scott Perry pushed conspiracy theory that Italian satellites changed votes

According to testimony at a Jan. 6 panel hearing, U.S. Rep. Scott Perry, R-York County, sought a presidential pardon.

Scott Perry tried to take away the votes of thousands of Pa. residents. They deserve an explanation | Opinion - Pennsylvania Capital-Star

Why didn’t you seek to defuse the time bomb built by the president and his campaign? Why did you let that bomb explode on Jan. 6?

It just keeps getting better LMAO. Six members voted for Jordan and Jordan took the floor to ask that they give those votes to McCarthy. Matt Gaetz immediately takes the floor and nominates Jordan again, haha.



 
somehow on the third vote McCarthy gets less votes. awesome.

Even if McCarthy wins, he’ll have zero power. He’s made too many concessions and CLEARLY doesn’t have the support of his party. He’ll simply be a puppet to the loudest and most annoying thorns in his side.

Why does what a Dem says about this fiasco matter? This is all stupid but doesn't matter in the end. All the House needs to do is say No to Biden. Nothing else will have any chance of getting done.

It doesn't but he's spitting truth. The House is being held hostage by the Treason Caucus because they obviously didn't get the message after the mid-terms. These aren't people who care about policy or what's good for the American people. They just want to rule with hatred.
 
LMAO at all the people who don't understand reason this is happening. It's not business as usual! Let's hope we get it right and not just elect someone who thinks they are entitled. Does it make the republicans look silly...maybe, but it also shows a t least some of these elected officials actually care and aren't just going with the flow. The Dems on here show their true colors when they laugh at the process and just want their points heard. It's show they care nothing about being bipartisan!

The Freedom Caucus is a pain in the ass. They always have been. You're misrepresenting these people but that doesn't matter. They are your opposing party. I do not find much Democrats OR Republicans say to be truthful.

what does that even mean? Dems are laughing at the GOP because they got elected and got the majority by questioning the dems ability to govern. They touted legislation on the border, crime, the debt. But they cannot even elect a speaker of the house two days into their term. And you may not realize this, but no business can be conducted until they do.

But since you are so big on bipartisanship... McCarthy is apparently trying to work side deals with dems to get them to vote 'present" and reduce his hurdle to win speaker. You want bipartisan, you got it!

Side deals with the dems. You call that being bipartisan? It's called business as usual!
Do you even take yourself seriously?

Should we just give the speaker to KM?

In this case, yes. Who is the speaker really doesn't matter right now because it is a 2-year situation most likely if Republicans continue to do things the way they're doing it now. The party needs to show that is organized and ready to lead and that is not what is going on right now. I'm all for chaos and government because I think that varying opinions and scrutiny are very important. There's far too little of that on the Democratic side. But at this current time when really all that matters is putting a stop to the Biden agenda, this is a bad hill to die on.
