After Rep. Matt Gaetz voted "present" in the 14th ballot for House speaker, Rep. Kevin McCarthy went over to talk to the Florida congressman.
Gaetz pointed fingers at McCarthy and when McCarthy walked away, Rep. Mike Rogers lunged at Gaetz.
If Gaetz doesn’t flip his vote to yes, McCarthy cannot win speakership, based on the tally so far in the voting.
Two sources tell CNN that Gaetz wants to adjourn chamber until Monday.

Rep. Matt Gaetz wants to adjourn chamber until Monday, according to two sources.
Gaetz voted "present" in the 14th ballot for House speaker. He has previously voted against Rep. Kevin McCarthy.
GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz voted "present" in the 14th ballot for House speaker. He has previously voted against Rep. Kevin McCarthy.
He initially left the chamber when his name was called the first time, building to a dramatic down-to-the-wire vote.
Gaetz was one of the six remaining GOP holdouts after 13 rounds of voting, along with Rep. Lauren Boebert who also voted "present."

GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert voted "present" in the 14th ballot for House speaker.
CNN had previously reported that this was a possibility.
While some key GOP holdouts have yet to budge, Boebert's vote could lower the threshold for Rep. Kevin McCarthy to become speaker.
The House is now voting on a 14th ballot for House speaker.
Rep. Kevin McCarthy has momentum, but he needs a handful of GOP hardliners to either flip their vote or vote "present" to bring the threshold for the majority down. Six Republicans did not vote for him on the last ballot.
With the speakership election in its fourth day, the House cannot move forward with any other business until a leader is elected.

Rep. Kevin McCarthy said, “I sure hope so,” when asked if he has the votes tonight to become speaker as he was walking to the House floor.
"We’ll get there one way or another,” McCarthy added.
“Let’s just wait and see how it goes,” he said as he was swarmed by reporters peppering him with questions.
Asked about whether there is any moderate GOP opposition to the rules package, he said, “It’s going to be interesting time.”
GOP Rep. Kevin McCarthy has been nominated for a 14th ballot as he works to get enough votes to win the House speakership.
His nomination was made by Rep. Patrick McHenry.
McCarthy’s team says he is trying to clinch the speakership tonight — after voting that has stretched over four days now.
Rep. Pete Aguilar nominated Rep. Hakeem Jeffries for speaker on behalf of the Democratic caucus.

A small group of GOP lawmakers — Rep. Patrick McHenry, Rep. Dan Bishop. Rep. French Hill, and Rep. Scott Perry — left incoming House Majority Whip Tom Emmer's office and walked into the speaker's office.
As they walked, Perry said of the speaker's race, "Nothing's done until it's done."
Asked if they had the votes to pass the rules package tonight, Perry replied, "I sure hope so."
Hill said, "We'll see what happens."
From CNN's Veronica Stracqualursi
Three holdouts on supporting Rep. Kevin McCarthy — Reps. Andy Biggs, Matthew Rosendale and Eli Crane — all entered the House chamber together.
They would not answer questions, including whether they'd vote "present."
