It took 15 ballots to elect a speaker, the most in 100 years. In the end, Kevin McCarthy won.
Notably, McCarthy’s support remained quite steady throughout the voting. Opposition held as well but cast votes for a variety of alternations to McCarthy across all the ballots.
Here are the total votes for each candidate on each round of balloting.
Democrats remained united behind Hakeem Jeffries throughout, with one Democratic member elect missing one vote (due to surgery.)
Here are the votes among Republicans who voted for someone other than McCarthy on at least one ballot.
