Original Note:
To be elected Speaker, a candidate needs a majority of the votes cast. That number is usually 218 votes, not 213. If enough anti-McCarthy Representatives change their vote to “present,” the threshold could go down to 213, but in the first six votes, none of them have done so. https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/15/politics/house-speaker-elections-what-matters/index.html
