The 118th Congress is making history before a single vote has been cast, promising a Jan. 3 battle between the 'never Kevins' and 'only Kevins.'
If McCarthy is not elected on the first ballot, he would be the first speaker candidate in 100 years to fail. If the voting goes to multiple ballots, voting rounds and drags on for days, it would be the first time something like this has happened in Congress since the Civil War.
The"never Kevins" include Reps. Andy Biggs of Arizona, Matt Gaetz of Florida, Bob Good of Virginia, Ralph Norman of South Carolina and Matt Rosendale of Montana. A group of nine conservative lawmakers pushing for concessions includes Reps. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, Paul Gosar of Arizona, Chip Roy of Texas, Dan Bishop of North Carolina, Andy Harris of Maryland, Andrew Clyde of Georgia, and three representatives-elect: Eli Crane of Arizona, Anna Paulina Luna of Florida and Andy Ogles of Tennessee.
