If you go back a couple of weeks, Republicans like MTG were saying if people didn’t get in line with McCarthy, Hakeem Jeffries could become Speaker, either she was totally misinformed or she was lying.
It is possible, but unlikely, he would become speaker.
“either she was totally misinformed or she was lying.”
All it would take are 6 flipped GOP votes or 11 “presents” to hand it to Jeffries. Somewhere out there are several GOP moderates drooling over the possibility of plum committee assignments in exchange for flipping for Jeffries.
