It’s confirmed. Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), booted as the Speaker of the House of Representatives today, will not run again for his former office. The gavel will be passed onto someone who can obtain 218 votes at some point within the next few days without going multiple rounds with Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and his posse.

Personally, I think it’s more likely the Democrats will take the House in 2024.
****************************************
I think you’re right unless Trump can be convinced to endorse Dimocrats.
“ But I doubt there’s another Republican that can garner the 218. “
That’s what I’ve been wondering. What if NOBODY can gather 218 votes?
Just heard that new Speaker Pro Tempre, McHenry, sent Congress home until next Tuesday so no votes.
Time for wheeling and dealing behind the curtain.
We have a month to elect a speaker. Then we have to shutdown the government in November.
Then he won’t be running for president. He can’t successfully do both.
Because one third to one half of the Republicans agree with the democrats.
Sure McCarthy was fired by 208 Democrats and 8 Republicans. Hooray!
The rumor was denied….
8 pukes sided with Lizzy & all of the dims.
Nancy Mace is a establishment clown. Pro abortion, anti-Trump, and she is the chick that ruined the citadel.
Thank you!
She’s electable to both sides. We need more than 8 votes.
Who do you suggest can win ?
The shame is on you.
Gaetz called out a duplicitous speaker who broke his promises and gave the store away to the left without using the power of the purse to halt America’s descent.
It is unnecessary to provide a full solution before calling out a wrongdoing or problem. In fact that is the way the process starts.
If there are other honest patriotic souls in Congress they can now work together to reach a consensus. If not then Matt Gaetz did his part and we are better off for the sunlight he provided.
If you prefer admiring the sunset from the Titanic sipping wine, to making waves and maybe surviving I feel only pity.
How would he be addressed if that happened?
“Sure McCarthy was fired by 208 Democrats and 8 Republicans. Hooray!”
So 200+ Redumblicans essentially voted for business as usual, Hooray!
The interim speaker kicked Pelosi out of her plush office. He’s going to use it. She is relegated to a cubby.
We know what you think, zelinsky loser
No.
Yep. Hooray.
How is it that far left nancy pelosi was able to deliver, for the far left, far left victories with a slim majority?
Yet paid social media influencers here at FR claim McCarthys failures were due to having a slim majority? And therfore his failures are actually commendable.
What say RinoInc?
