not much different than 113-99 for Scalise

Isn't a 43-vote margin more than 3x a 14-vote margin?

This is only the nomination...the full house has to vote and that’s where the Republican side show can break out again. Scott got a ridiculous number of votes.

The Senate is in session on Monday. Both Houses are in Session on Tuesday.

He only got 11 more than Scalise, a long way to 217.

“Good. But we’ll see what comes next.”

No floor vote. He is still short.

That is precisely why it will be an uphill battle to get him elected - because he will get NONE of the Democrat vote, and will have a very hard time getting the vote of about 1/3 of the Republican caucus... Because that 1/3 are really part of that uni-party traitors.

Lucy and the football stuff, Jordan won't get enough votes with a full vote on the house floor.

This is all a headfake to put McCarthy back.

Any word on when they’ll do a vote on the house floor?
