The 12th vote for US Speaker finally saw some progress for Kevin McCarthy.
Of the 20 dissenters from yesterday, he was able to convert 13 to YES. The bad news is that he needs to convert 16 or have some of them vote 'Present'. The dissenters are:
- Biggs
- Boebert
- Crane
- Gaetz
- Good
- Harris
- Rosendale
He will need to change at least 3 votes but there are some complicating factors with some Republicans and Democrats scheduled to leave Washington imminently for health or family issues.
