Confirmed: Kevin McCarthy Won't Run for House Speaker
Townhall ^ | 10/3/23 | Matt Vespa

Posted on 10/03/2023 4:12:02 PM PDT by cotton1706

It’s confirmed. Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), booted as the Speaker of the House of Representatives today, will not run again for his former office. The gavel will be passed onto someone who can obtain 218 votes at some point within the next few days without going multiple rounds with Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and his posse.

You got it right, over 95% of lefty Dems voted to oust McCarthy (202 out of 212 Dems), and some of us think it is a good thing-Gingrich was right -it was childish now some are knocking Gingrich-prior to him and his contract with America, the Dems held the House for 40 years straight-they may be setting themselves up for another 40

208 Dems voted to oust McCarthy with 4 not voting (Bush, Pelosi, Peltola, Sykes).

Yeah, he has lost the approval of Pelosi so he cannot run.

Mace loves killing babies. She’s a Democrat with an R after her name.

I hope she finds some sanity and sobriety not to mention peace and serenity in her life.

Being angry about abortion or Trump or whatever isn’t a healthy way to live.

I hope she doesn’t play the victim card over the wrong done to her in the past it won’t sustain her for very long.

Skeptical about anyone who rushed to the MICs on J6 to condemn Trump and has since come back. Opportunist

I do not believe politicians walking in lockstep always agreeing 100% on everything is a good thing.

Yea, some things are more critical than others. Turning on Trump, following the obviously phony media narrative of J6 and then jumping back in when Trump is up 20-30 says something.

Perhaps they learned. I don't know how many, but some voters also learned. If Biden had not been so terrible I'm not sure their eyes would have been opened.

They all lie to suit themselves. It's how they vote that matters. Expecting loyalty among politicians is laughable. No such thing exists.
