The Republican hardliners who oppose Kevin McCarthy's bid to be House speaker dug in against him even more over the weekend, setting the possibility of multiple votes.
Biggs predicted that McCarthy would never reach the 218 votes he needs and accused him of trying to"smear" Biggs’s name.
"This is who Kevin is," Gaetz wrote."He sticks his wet finger in the air to decide what position to take." Rosendale also predicted"multiple rounds of votes" until a speaker is decided, a sign that GOP hardliners plan to stick to their guns and not vote for McCarthy and not vote"present," which would make it easier for McCarthy to win the gavel.
