The twelfth time was not a charm for Kevin McCarthy on Friday despite picking up additional votes from GOP members who had opposed his bid for House Speaker.

Dan Bishop, Josh Brecheen, Michael Cloud, Andrew Clyde, Byron Donalds, Paul Gosar, Anna Paulina Luna, Mary Miller, Ralph Norman, Andy Ogles, Scott Perry, Chip Roy, Keith Self and Victoria Sparks were those previous holdouts who flipped their vote for McCarthy.

However, with just 222 Republicans controlling the 435-member chamber, McCarthy could not afford to lose more than four GOP votes.
