For comparison purposes, when McCarthy struggled on his first ballot in January, he finished with 203 votes. Jordan fell a few votes shy of that threshold — and for McCarthy, 15 difficult rounds soon followed.

As for who broke ranks, if my back-of-the-envelope notes are correct, these are the Republican members who ended up voting for someone other than Jordan:

Don Bacon of Nebraska (voted for McCarthy)
Ken Buck of Colorado (voted for Emmer)
Lori Chavez-DeRemer of Oregon (voted for McCarthy)
Anthony D’Esposito of New York (voted for Zeldin)
Mario Diaz-Balart of Florida (voted for Scalise)
Jake Ellzey of Texas (voted for Garcia)
Andrew Garbarino of New York (voted for Zeldin)
Carlos Giménez of Florida (voted for McCarthy)
Tony Gonzales of Texas (voted for Scalise)
Kay Granger of Texas (voted for Scalise)
John James of Michigan (voted for Cole)
Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania (voted for Scalise)
Jen Kiggans of Virginia (voted for McCarthy)
Mike Lawler of New York (voted for McCarthy)
Nick LaLota of New York (voted for Zeldin)
Doug LaMalfa of California (voted for McCarthy)
John Rutherford of Pennsylvania (voted for Scalise)
Michael Simpson of Idaho (voted for Scalise)
Victoria Spartz of Indian (voted for Massie)
Steve Womack of Arkansas (voted for Scalise)

Jordan could only lose a handful of his GOP colleagues. This was ... more than a handful.

1. Hoping and praying

he does just as bad on second vote. We don't need TFGs water boy as House speaker.

3. What promises is he making just to get elected.

I bet his own party doesn’t trust his promises.

Hope there are at least 15 rounds of votes.
