In a stunning hour-long phone call, President Donald Trump ranted about the election and asked Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to "find" exactly enough votes to win the Peach State.

The call, originally published by the Washington Post, starts with the president spending about 12 minutes uninterrupted decrying his electoral loss, which he claimed multiple times during the call was “impossible,” and spewing election conspiracy theories that the secretary of state’s office and local election officials have repeatedly disputed and debunked.

"All I want to do is this: I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have because we won the state and flipping the state is a great testament to our country ..." Trump reportedly told Raffensperger during the call.

In an extraordinary exchange, the president tells Raffensperger there would be “nothing wrong” if the secretary “recalculated” the results of the election, leading to Raffensperger pushing back.

“Well, Mr. President, the challenge that you have is the data you have is wrong.” Raffensperger said.

"It's just not possible to have lost Georgia. When I heard it was close, I said there's no way," Trump stated on the call.

Despite the president’s persistence, the secretary maintained the reported vote count was accurate.

White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows also spoke at times during the call, and Ryan Germany, the general counsel in Raffensperger’s office, did as well.

The House of Representatives has narrowly reelected Nancy Pelosi as speaker, after the California Democrat won the support of 216 members. The result was announced with fanfare at 4:49 p.m. by House Clerk Cheryl Johnson, who declared Pelosi “duly elected” speaker at 4:50 p.m.

Pelosi stood at the Democratic leadership desk as her colleagues applauded her historic achievement.

There were 427 members who participated in the vote.

At 4:25 p.m., California Democrat Rep. Mark DeSaulnier, who has battled health problems for the past several years and nearly died from pneumonia after a fall last spring, cast the 216th vote for Pelosi –- with Democrats in the chamber erupting in applause. 

Pelosi, whose caucus ranks have dwindled to just 222 voting members in the 117th Congress, lost the support of five members.

Rep. Jared Golden, D-Maine, voted for Sen. Tammy Duckworth. Rep. Conor Lamb, D-Penn., voted for Democratic Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries. Three other Democratic women -- Reps. Abigail Spanberger, Elissa Slotkin and Mikie Sherrill -- all voted present. If they had voted for any person on the planet, it would have increased the threshold Pelosi needed to secure the speaker’s gavel. 

Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the Republican leader, won unanimous support from the Republican conference -- garnering 209 votes on the floor. 

This will be Pelosi’s 4th (non-consecutive) term as speaker. She’s also the third speaker in the last 25 years to win with less than 218 votes, next to Newt Gingrich and Paul Ryan. 

Pelosi will speak from the speaker’s chair shortly, after McCarthy hands her the gavel.
