House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has warned his fellow Republicans not to “play games” by opposing his bid for House speaker — saying division in the conference could lead to Democrats electing the chamber’s next leader even though they will be the minority.
Five House Republicans have so far come out publicly against McCarthy (R-Calif.), who can’t afford many defections among the narrow GOP majority to win the 218 votes he needs to be elected speaker.
Republicans won at least 221 House seats in the Nov. 8 midterm elections, but the entire Democratic caucus is expected to vote against McCarthy, making his margin dangerously thin.
One California House race where GOP candidate John Duarte leads has yet to be called.

How about a nice game of chess?
Sounds like Republicans need to unite behind someone else then and follow his order.
So who in the conference can get the necessary votes?
Fights like a mad dog... in his bedroom
Who could muster the necessary votes?
Seriously, a massive meteor taking out the Capitol during a full, joint session of Congress (with a small number of conservatives absent) would cure a lot of ills, even if it resulted in the country collapsing.
Sounds like an Arizona election. Choose him or he’ll force you to choose him.
Jim Jordan?
Well, if there isn't someone, there isn't someone.
Maybe Frank Luntz could tell us...
“...but the entire Democratic caucus is expected to vote against McCarthy, making his margin dangerously thin.”
For once, I agree with the ‘Rats. We The People do NOT want you, Kevin!
Get off the stage!
On the contrary, it would probably resemble the results on Twitter after Musk started cleaning house.
ESAD, McCarthy. I can throw you about 15 feet farther than I trust you.
Well, the Brunson 22-380 case would do that. Takes 388 congresscritters, and then some, out all at once just like a massive meteor.
You would rather have a Democrat than McCarthy?
Interesting standoff in progress. Another choice needs to emerge here.
This is just another example about how things are so corrupt that the deep state can always retain power one way or another.
We already had one democrat in a GOP majority.
His name was Paul Ryan AKA Eddie Munster.
