in his quest to become speaker of the House of Representatives. He didn’t come anywhere close to getting the votes he needed on the first or second ballots cast on Tuesday, and drifted even further away from the gavel on the third. McCarthy is desperate for help, which is why it was a little curious that, who has endorsed McCarthy for the role, didn’t try to rally support publicly as his top lackey in the House took L after L.
