He did not vote in the final round for Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R.CA), but he voted instead for Jim Jordan and Reps. Byron Donalds. Gaetz and other voters were the last round of voting. &#8220;never-Kevin&#8221; Members of Congress vote &#8220;present,&#8221; McCarthy was elected as speaker. <\/p>\n<p>Trump had already endorsed McCarthy for speaker, and was calling Congress to convince them to vote for him. Nearly all the &#8220;never-Kevin&#8221; Trump was closely aligned with the holdouts. <\/p>\n<div class=\"Enhancement\">\n<div class=\"Enhancement-item\">\n<figure class=\"Figure mb-1 mb-sm-3 mb-md-1 article-lead-photo data_invisible\" data-align=\"center\" data-image-size=\"fixed\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n<div class=\"Figure-container\"> <picture><source media=\"(max-width: 768px)\" type=\"image\/webp\" width=\"767\" height=\"511\" data-image-size=\"1060x600_md\"><source media=\"(max-width: 768px)\" width=\"767\" height=\"511\" data-image-size=\"1060x600_md\"><source media=\"(max-width: 1440px)\" type=\"image\/webp\" width=\"645\" height=\"430\" data-image-size=\"1060x600_xl\"><source media=\"(max-width: 1440px)\" width=\"645\" height=\"430\" data-image-size=\"1060x600_xl\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" width=\"1060\" height=\"706\" data-image-size=\"1060x600\"><source width=\"1060\" height=\"706\" data-image-size=\"1060x600\"><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><figcaption class=\"Figure-caption\" itemprop=\"caption\"> Rep.
