Bret (Beier?) says he's hearing BOEBERT was supposed to be a yes to McCarthy, not a present vote. So that was a surprise. I'm sure she'll get asked about this if they ever leave the chamber tonight

3 Present votesโฆ.
3 members voting present now. Biggs, Crane and Boebert. This lowers the total of members casting ballots for Speaker by surname. This should help McCarthy
