 from Wisconsin. Madam Clerk, I rise to nominate the gentlemen from California, Mr. Kevin McCarthy, for Speaker of the House. The gentleman is recognized. Madam Clerk, as Chair of the Democratic Caucus, I am directed by that vote of the caucus to present for election to the 118th Congress the Honorable Hakeem Jeffries, Representative Elect for the State of New York for the Office of Speaker. Today I am rising to nominate Byron Donalds for Speaker of the House of Representatives. Paterholt, McCarthy, Hagellar, Jeffries, Allford, McCarthy. The Honorable Hakeem Jeffries of the State of New York has received 212. Honorable Kevin McCarthy of the State of California has received 201. Honorable Byron Donalds of the State of Florida has received 20, with one member-elect recorded as present. No member-elect having received a majority of the whole number of votes cast, a speaker has not been elected. For what purpose does the gentleman from Ohio seek recognition? So let's work together. Let's stop with the campaign smears and tactics to get people to turn against us. Even having my favorite president call us and tell us we need to knock this off, I think it actually needs to be reversed. The president needs to tell Kevin McCarthy that, sir, you do not have the votes and it's time to withdraw. With that, I yield. Thank you. Adams, Jeffries, Adderholt, McCarthy.
