Wouldn’t that mean Speaker Jeffries? The dem caucus is a voting block.

I thought they couldn’t do anything before they elect a Speaker.

McCarthy doesn’t have the votes, unless the Dem’s help him out.

If they do, then that’s 100000% proof that they have him and he’ll do whatever Pelosi wants him to.

That being said, it would be awesome if one of the folks not voting for him went to one of the podiums and nominated Pres Trump. It won’t matter and it’ll be fun watching a sizable number of the House, Republican and Democrat, go into spasms.

This whole thing is getting ridiculous. I understand the message, but I really want to get to law making and government oversight

But if the Republicans vote no on the follow up majority vote confirmation then Jeffries would not get it and we will be back to zero again

Interesting.

Not an analogous situation.

If McCarthy had morals, he would step aside.

Heard the speaker does not actually have to be a member of congress. Was wondering if the speaker could be a bear?

It will never happen in a televised Congress.

The conservatives just need to know how far they can go to get McCarthy to commit as many things as possible, in writing, in a way that he can’t get out of. 20 votes are not going to elect anyone else. Whatever they do, they need to put him in maximum pain. Not sure he’s feeling it yet.

RINOs did not give a fig if MAGA candidates were defeated by Democrats, even if that meant losing the presidency and Senate.

But now we're being told non-stop that MAGA is evil for not falling into line with the RINO coronation of McCarthy, and --shock, horror-- a Democrat might become Speaker!

Burn it down! Let the RINOs have a taste of their own medicine for a change.
