CNN —

It was a secret ballot, and McCarthy only needed a simple majority.

Why does THIS congress get to pick the speaker for the NEXT congress???
Some of the newest members that were just elected are not even there yet.
Why is the vote before new Representatives are seated?
Great week for the establishment.
The Pubbie Party, the party of rubes, chumps, traitors and the bought and paid for.
Is it time for the split. CW2???
And the SAME damn beat goes on!!! I honestly just can’t stomach this anymore!!
One Mc in, two more Mc’s to go!!!
This election has been like the release of The Empire Strikes Back.
I don’t get that either.
a secret ballot to boot
Excellent questions.
😡
In secret... He might lose if it was public.
What??? A secret ballot??
That, right there, is another corrupt thing going on with the DC Cabal.
He still needs to get 218 on the floor. If successive ballots occur without him reaching 218 then he’ll likely step aside.
And if Democrats he’ll him become speaker then he’ll lose ALL legitimacy with the caucus (not that he’ll care, since he’ll have the power then to punish those against him. But then again he’s a pantywaist and might not have the stomach for that like Nancy would)
Thanks.
Here are several reasons why Kevin McCarthy should have never been nominated to Republican Speaker of the House:
1.) Kevin McCarthy: “We’re not going to impeach Joe Biden.”
2.) Kevin McCarthy recommended President Trump resign after January 6 protests that killed four Trump supporters… Then he lied about it.
3.) McCarthy spent millions to defeat pro-Trump Republicans.
4.) McCarthy booed at Trump rally.
5.) Kevin McCarthy following 2020 election, “I Don’t Think Anybody is Questioning the Legitimacy of the Election… It’s Over With”
6.) McCarthy pushed RINO Tim Scott for president.
7.) McCarthy blamed President Trump for January 6 riot.
8.) McCarthy voted with Democrats to outsource US jobs.
9.) Kevin McCarthy helped sabotage MAGA favorite Madison Cawthorn’s re-election effort.
1st vote should be to suspend financing of the 90K IRS agents. Test the watesr.
