So, Kevin McCarthy has lost 6 times for Speaker of the House

So who do you think is going to get it? Democrats definitely won't change their vote from Jefferies. It also looks like the 20 republicans who won't vote for McCarthy are going to stick with Donalds. So where is this going to end up?

I have no idea. Apparently they're going to resume voting in 2 hours. I'm curious what the record is for most votes on house speaker.

Edit: Noon tomorrow

Is this a record for shortest term as speaker? Or at least top 10?

EDIT: Decided to answer my question
