They need to work that out in conference, privately if possible. But those discussions should start immediately. It probably can’t be a hard right person as they can’t get the votes. It just can’t be someone who brings something to the floor knowing it will get more D votes than R as Johnson just did. That was outrageous and will be done by him again if allowed to stand.
You will never get to 215 with only a 1 vote margin. That’s what Matt Gaetz keeps trying to tell us. As much as I like Matt, he should have had the votes lined up for the next speaker BEFORE they ousted McCarthy.
We have to learn how to be more strategic. You don’t go into battle without a plan.
