Rep.-elect Byron Donalds, R-Fla.,<\/a> set the House abuzz on Tuesday when he switched his vote for House Speaker from embattled Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy to Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio \u2013 as McCarthy struggles to meet the threshold to gain the gavel.<\/p>\n

Donalds had supported McCarthy for the first two votes<\/a>, which both resulted in no candidate reaching the necessary 218 votes after 19 Republicans defected — the first time in nearly a century that additional votes were needed for a majority\u2019s nominee.<\/p>\n

Some rebel Republicans had cast votes for Reps.-elect Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., Jordan, Jim Banks, Lee Zeldin, R-NY, and Donalds himself in the first round. Jordan secured all non-McCarthy GOP votes in the second and third rounds. Democrats, meanwhile, have remained united around Rep.-elect Hakeem Jeffries, D-NY.<\/p>\n

On the third vote<\/a>, Donalds was asked his selection, and chose Jordan, raising the number of Republicans voting for someone other than McCarthy to 20. Jordan has said he is supporting McCarthy.<\/p>\n

The vote by Donalds immediately sparked murmurings throughout the chamber, as well as a round of applause from Republicans lawmakers opposed to McCarthy\u2019s candidacy. Ultimately, Jordan received 20 GOP votes, while McCarthy received 202 and Jeffries received all 212 votes from his fellow Democrats.<\/p>\n

In an interview on “Kudlow” after the vote, Donalds said he changed his vote because he doesn\u2019t believe McCarthy has the 218 votes at the moment.<\/p>\n

“I voted for Kevin on the first two ballots, and it’s just not clear that he has the votes,” he said.<\/p>\n

He said that McCarthy does have the ability to get to the threshold but “there\u2019s a lot of work to be done.”<\/p>\n

“I think just if you’re going to ask members to vote over and over and over again to try to wear people down, I think it actually has the opposite effect,” he said. “My view has been for us to call a recess, get in a room, figure it out, have those conversations and then go back to the floor.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Shortly after the vote, the House moved to adjourn until noon on Wednesday, meaning that the chamber will not be electing a speaker until at least that time. No members have been sworn in and cannot be until a speaker is elected.<\/p>\n
