Next Speaker of the House? (6 Viewers)

[MT15]

There’s a lot of doubt that Kevin McCarthy will be able to get enough votes to become Speaker. It certainly won’t happen on the first ballot. Already Boboert and MTG are publicly at odds over it.

Maybe this is worth it’s own thread to watch. One person mentioned is Scalise.

They clearly want the all-time record. My bet's on it gets done on the 10th vote.

The holdouts threaten to walk and not vote unless they get what they want. McCarthy says fine, Jeffries wins. Who blinks first?

And we now go to a 9th vote...

Matt Rosendale (who?) is going hard not only on McCarthy, but all of the Republican leadership.

Just tuning in-how long are these idiots allowed to talk? We’re on the 9th vote - just nominate whoever you want and move on.

Also-I am disappointed that democrats are not getting together with Utah Rep Upton (?) and shutting these MAGA idiots down. He already offered equal representation on all committees. That’s huge. Get one or two other agreements and put everybody out of their misery.

No this isn’t a beautiful thing, Bobo. This isn’t even debate. It’s making speeches.

Bobo went hard. She definitely won't be getting any gavels.

If I was good at memes I wound totally pull the one of Rooney talking to Ferris’ mom about his attendance.

“Nine Times!?!”

“Nine Times.”

 

[GrandAdmiral]

Wow. A McCarthy supporter confirms that there has been preliminary talks with Dems on a consensus government. Now, he may be full of shirt and just trying to scare the 20, but still.
