Not well, Kevin McCarthy has lost 11 straight votes for Speaker of the House, and nobody can be sworn in until a Speaker is elected. They started voting 3 days ago.

Looks like he has gotten 6 holdouts to flip to voting for him, but he needs 18 of the 21 holdouts to flip. It appears it will be going to round 13 lol.
