electing a new House speaker could take hours or even days.
“It’s going to be a chaotic day,” a top aide to one of the GOP holdouts told The Washington Times on Tuesday. “Could this last for days? Yeah, it could.”
Rep. Scott Perry, a conservative Republican from Pennsylvania, outlined the demands Mr. McCarthy has so far rejected, including commitments to consider term limits for members of Congress, a balanced budget measure and legislation to replace income taxes with a national sales tax.
“Kevin McCarthy had an opportunity to be speaker of the House,” Rep. Mr. Perry said Tuesday. “He rejected it.”

Lauren Boebert saying she will NOT vote McCarthy.
McCarthy needs to pull his name, for the good of the party. Allow a true conservative to fill the void.
Instead of doing his job properly.
They hafta call the roll for 435 members ...

MTG is running her loud month on Bannon’s War Room.
I’ve had my fill of MTG.
Solution: Trump for Speaker of the House.
She's upset that others are demanding committee appointments and she didn't. Then she should.
The way that people like MTG are so great and then suddenly go off the reservation is creepy. Some times I wonder if they get secretly abducted in the middle of the night and have their brain reprogrammed before being returned.
FOR SURE!!!!
Solution: Trump for Speaker of the House.
YES, YES, YES!!!!
McCarthy promised her plum committee assignments in return for her support..
Bannon never really had time to ask MTG questions.
She was non stop running her loud mouth.
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries is holding for you on line 1984

Hearing that we could end up with a never-Trumper or Dem as Speaker.
McCarthy committed to a Select Committee on the politicization of Federal Law Enforcement & real investigations into the Biden Admin & the border.
But we won’t get any of that with a Never-Trumper as Speaker!

It’s swamp politics. They’re all looking out for number #1.
Bannon clarified that those MTG mentioned were not asking for themselves,
but for the Conservative Freedom Members.
It’s called negotiating.
What? The Democrats want me as their Speaker?
