From the looks of things, the Republican leadership wants to adjourn. Something is in the works but not ready for prime time.

“ Tried to adjourn and looks like they won’t be able to yet.”
************************************************

Yes, the vote on the motion is NOT voice so it’s being done electronically. ALL DemocRATS are voting ‘no’ and all but one Republicans are voting ‘yea’—- so far.

Saw that.

On voice vote, Loud-mouthed Dems made it seem like there were more Nays vs. Yays.

Voting for/against adjournment.

More than half-way, and I think this is headed to a vote.

With most R’s voting to adjourn (ie, McC’s), 1 R against(likely anti-mcC), and all dems against, this seems to be following the speaker votes.

Lends credence slightly, imho, to Biggs nomination of DJT!

The 20 MAGA holdouts will likely decide the vote.
