Side note: I’m far more impressed with the freshmen/junior members of Congress than I am with most of the old guard. The gentleman (from Michigan) currently speaking is a breath of fresh air. I don’t agree with his support for McCarthy, but I like the cut of his jib.




Totally agree.

They pulled out the big guns with John James. Excellent marketing skills. Does Kevin have that high of an approval rating?

Agree. I want him to take a shot at Stabenow’s seat in 24.

Well if everyone who just stood won't vote McCarthy, he doesn't have the votes

ETA: Not the line about the black SOTH, when Donalds was nominated

My sources are telling me Kevin McCarthy will not get the votes today

I don’t know what’s happening behind the scenes, but the negotiations seem to be getting worse not better

Deadlock is hardening

McCarthy has no shot anytime soon


We shall see if this holds true

Forgive my ignorance, so McCarthy is about to win because a lot of dems didnt show up so he would get the numbers?

They have a quorum with 311 members present. I just don't know who is there and who is not.

Interesting...

Bishop has some great points.

"We are doing the people's business"

"An institution that lost it's way."

"I came to FIX THIS BROKEN SYSTEM"

This is the first time I've ever heard Bishop speak. He's knocking it out of the park without having to resort to being a dick, he has a very "old world statesman" speaking style.

Dems calling Donalds a prop is so disgusting.

Looks as if my Rep is not part of the 20. I am not sure who my rep actually is though, we just moved right after voting so not sure my district in Texas any more.
