IMHO we don't need another Speaker vote before the election. Johnson is the second Speaker in less than a year. It took 15 votes to elect McCarthy and four votes to elect Johnson. The last time that it took multiple votes to elect a Speaker was in the 1920s. It is making the Republicans look like idiots, plus they are running out of viable candidates.

Hold it over Johnson until after the election and then vote whether to replace him. If we manage to take back several democrat seats in the election, then wait until the new Congress is seated in January to vote in a new Speaker.

If Republicans manage to remove Johnson now it will only take three RINOs to join with the democrats and elect a RINO or a democrat as the next Speaker.

True. It also shows that they can't play the long game. It takes a lot of time and effort and patience to get anything done in politics. If you have to go back to the drawing board all the time, you never get anywhere.
