Come on Gaetz. I'm sure you can get a middle school House page program if you hold out for a 15th vote.

Note that (at least in some circumstances?) even members who already voted can still change their vote -

Whenever they decide to settle on a speaker, isn't the rules package the next fight? McCarthy made all these concessions to the nutjob caucus, the moderates will balk, right? I know most are true believers, but at least some know "a vote for us to kill social security us a bad idea."

Since votes can swap, McCarthy's stooges are working the holdouts that have already voted against him in this round too, so it's literally still wide open and also almost done and also Matt Gaetz decides everyone's fate SURE WHY NOT

The HFC rules vote could fail really quickly and a normal house rules package would pass with 400 votes. Then again, why would Democrats bail out McCarthy when nothing really needs to get done for months.

It COULD still seal up for McCarthy, with a weird change or missing D or something. I don't think it's dooooone.
