Only way Dems can look bad is if they vote for McCarthy. Just stay there and keep together. Let the Republicans remain stuck in that room fighting each other looking worse and worse. The role of the speaker is to cut deals and whip votes, and the fact that McCarthy is unable to do that looks incredibly bad for him.

The dems have no reason to compromise here. They are already the minority party for the house and it's the republicans having issues on their votes.

Total Republicans 222
Total Democrats 213

Jeffries has been getting 212 votes...

That would require the total "person votes" to be 423.

423 - 212 = 211

So there would need to be 11 present votes, if my math is right

I'm also not sure who in Congress is absent if Jeffries is getting 212 votes with 213 Democrats elected.

I'm torn on the compromise.

On the one hand it's a good chance for the Democrats to swing their collective dick around and completely neuter the House GOP. Plus if the House doesn't have a Speaker eventually things are gonna break down in the government.

On the other hand, fuck the GOP. They made their bed and they can die in it.

What exactly does present mean when they say present? Just that they are present and should be counted toward the total, but not voting for any one individual ?

The only compromise that I would make were I the Dems is that Hakeem Jeffries get's the Speaker's gavel. Because here's the thing, the GOP is not to be trusted. Anything McCarthy promises to give he can simply refuse to give once he has the gavel. There is no reason to treat the GOP as if they are acting in good faith because they aren't. And haven't been for decades.

Nah, present votes don't count toward the vote at all. Basically is a no-vote.

A majority of those present and voting is required to get the speakership, which is usually 218 lawmakers. But if enough people skip the vote or vote present, the number of votes required for a majority can drop.

So what the "present" vote does is count towards the majority, but doesn't count towards any candidate.

It's literally a vote for no one, but a vote that has to be counted.

There have to be at least 5 Republicans (or however many swing votes necessary) who are just plain dumb enough to fall for the line 'you wanna know the absolute best way to stick it to McCarthy / the establishment...?'

If they can get a conservative Dem or a non-insane not-Trumper (likely from outside the chamber) in as speaker with an understanding that bogus investigations are not happening and with Dems and peeled off GOPers in as committee chairs, that'd be a deal that the Dems would be foolish to turn down.

Any deal with McCarthy, though? Yeah, obviously don't do that.

No. That's not how it works. The house will keep voting until a speaker is elected. There is no time limit and it doesn't pass to anyone else because the whole house gets to vote.
