If I correctly recall my high school civics, the entire House votes for speaker.

Does this not mean that if McCarthy were a Dem shill, that the Dem side of the House would have voted him in in a landslide?

I agree that McCarthy needed to be chastened, and that the process for removal of a non-performing SOTH needed to be strengthened, however now is the time to band our GOP together, and sail bravely into that forthcoming legislative storm.

Elect McCarthy, warts and all, just keep an eye on him.

Not a landslide.

Right now, the Democratic half of the "donor community" is looking for five Republicans who will vote for a Democrat. This will go on for a while.

If they fail, leader Jeffries will allow however many votes McCarthy is short +1 to vote for him.
