re: **US Congress ROUND 13 vote complete; 6 dissenters remain. House is adjourned until 10pm**

Holy frick, Jefferies is picking up votes like crazy.

He will “pick up” 212 of them, just like every vote

IF Jeffries gets 218, he becomes Speaker.

But any GOP member who does so may as well resign and take a consulting gig immediately because they won’t be back in two years.

My hat is off to the rebels. This is old school congress days when there was enough people to throw a wrench in the plans of the two party system.

In her scenario, McCarthy would approach Democrats to gain the 20 or so votes he needs to become speaker. In return, Democrats would extract major concessions from him, likely ensuring that their members remain in charge of powerful and influential House committees. Ocasio-Cortez was clear this is unlikely to happen.

This is what AOC said in an interview yesterday. I guess she fails to realize that if this were to happen a whole bunch of his other votes would not support him. Although this is exactly how the swamp works. The uniparty at its finest

So he's offering something, he'd be giving them anyway?

He was calling out DEMs who would even think about not voting for Jeffries.

Convict labor being modern day slavery. He's one of those people who sees slavery and racism everywhere because he is mentally ill.
