Do we even know that we have duly elected members of Congress casting votes for Speaker?

I have zero faith that this is even the case.

hey are pulling out the big boy paper saying they will pass a budget if you vote for KM.


Isn’t that all but completely meaningless going given what they went along with on the outgoing group on the way out the door last month?

This vote will probably wrap it up for KM.

ETA. I think KM just lost it again with the 7th vote for JJ.

The last vote there was no clapping for JJ. Some boos even.

Establishment rules, sadly.

But they may have to do it many times to convince the JJ voters.

Agreed but the establishment already has him branded at the chamber of commerce.

So Jim Jordan coordinates with McCarthy in the chamber, then is the one to nominate him again for the second ballot, and is currently the one getting the votes that prevent McCarthy from getting a majority?

If the damn republicans won't stick together and quit in-fighting the Dems will get the speaker job again.

If the Democrats were smart, they would all stand up and leave. It would secure McCarthy as Speaker, which is the best choice if you are a Democrat House member.
