By popular request, this is another "High Noon" thread LIVE from D.C. in the heart of the Swamp!
Did McCarthy make a deal to get enough support either from the 20-21 hold out Republicans to become Speaker, or to get the Dems to vote present, or not vote, such that he might become Speaker underhandedly?
Will Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) again nominate President Donald John Trump, the rightful President of the United States, to be Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, such that he might return as POTUS after a successful petition for writ of quo warranto to remove Slow Joe and the Ho?
Do the Dems have a token white Congresscritter to nominate Jeffries to show they are a party of ethnic diversity?
Stay tuned to this Bat Channel!

Has there been ANY word on that front? The official SCOTUS process announced for it is to divulge today's conference at 9:30 Monday.

Good speech by Matt G. He laid it all out. The other republicans got up and left their seats. Not one applause for his speech. Not one.

Boebert is embarrassing and Gaetz obnoxious; both should be primaried and replaced with genuine Republicans; so tired of these puffed up RINOs who have more in common with “the squad” than I can stomach.

Right. In short McCarthy is the "best" candidate for Speaker because he raises the most money from K Street. That is why he must be installed as Speaker over the wishes of the base of the party.

His use of “Purity” was probably not the best choice of words.
To: Mathews
Not one applause for his speech. Not one.That is one fewer person clapping than yesterday, when Gaetz nominated DJT.

At this rate, looks like they are folding and this may be the final round.

Gaetz said McCarthy doesn't have the votes for Speaker.

Here’s an echo chamber clue: 9% of Republican representatives is not the base of the party.
