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.

Uh oh, 2 defections from the 20 over to McCarthy so far (Bishop and Brecheen I think?)

His use of “Purity” was probably not the best choice of words.

That is one fewer person clapping than yesterday, when Gaetz nominated DJT.

Maybe you need to change your voter registration to Democrat. 🙄

Bishop got bought off. Changed his vote to McCarthy.

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.
