The Hill reports:
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) voted for Rep. Kevin Hern (R-Okla.) for Speaker. Boebert has been one of McCarthy’s most vocal critics. Asked Thursday morning if there was anything he could do to get her support, she responded, “No.”
Boebert had cast her votes Wednesday and earlier Thursday for Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.), who much of McCarthy’s GOP opposition had coalesced around. Hern is supporting McCarthy for Speaker.
Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) shot down the notion that McCarthy struck a deal with his detractors, lashing out on Fox News during the seventh Speaker vote. “First of all, there is no agreement whatsoever, and it’s disappointing that confidences are betrayed about the details of internal meetings,” Perry said on Fox News.

Rep.-elect George Santos just missed his chance to vote again in round 8. https://t.co/V12CgmdcLW

George Santos missing his chance to vote AGAIN because he didn’t notice his name was called is freaking pathetic and goes back to the idea that maybe that’s not his real name.
