Note: In order to win an election, a person must get more than 50% of the votes that are cast by an individual, without counting "present" votes. The Constitution stipulates that House members select the speaker, however the speaker does not need necessarily be current, or former member.
The Mr. McCarthy needs 218 votes for each member of Congress has a vote and he can be able to afford losing the loss of four Republican votes. The seventh and eleventh rounds of voting that took place on Thursday night 20 Republicans were able to vote for candidates other than Mr. McCarthy and one of them was "present." Mr. McCarthy was unable to win an additional Republican vote during the ninth and eleventh round, when Rep. Ken Buck of Colorado did not even vote. The entire 212 Democrats were in favor of Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, of New York, the minority leader.
The speaker, Mr. McCarthy could win the speakership by a mere 218 votes, if he can convince lawmakers who aren't willing to back him to choose to vote "present" or to not vote in any way. (He must get higher numbers of votes than. Jeffries in this scenario.)

The first time a vote was held which was held on a Tuesday 19 House Republicans were in favor of an independent Republican different from the incumbent Mr. McCarthy. On the second ballot, the same 19 voted against the incumbent, but they were united to support Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, an early part of the conservative House Freedom Caucus. The Rep. Jordan pleaded with his colleagues to backing to. McCarthy, but all 19 members, including an additional Republican were in favor of his. Jordan on the third vote.
For the fifth, fourth, and sixth rounds of voting which took place on Wednesday, the same 20 Republicans were able to vote for the House Representative Byron Donalds of Florida, and one also voted "present."
