Scalise Bows Out of Speaker Race, Slams Reps. With 'Own Agendas'
The move comes just a day after House Republicans voted to nominate him for the role in a closed-door meeting
Republicans voted by a narrow margin on Wednesday to nominate Scalise to replace McCarthy, but several lawmakers said after the closed-door meeting that they would not vote for him on the House floor. The number of hold-outs grew over the next 24 hours, making it clear that Scalise was nowhere close to securing the 217 votes he needed to secure the gavel.

fresh horror
Not sure I'd call Gym "fresh," but he is horrible.
A speakership shared between Boebert and MTG;
Lmao “shared”
They’re very definitely not friends these days.
So sure, put them in a cage match with the speaker’s gavel in the middle of the arena. People would watch that, and it’d be a damn sight more useful than what the House has done recently - definitely since Monday; arguably since January 3, 2023.
lets just say that McConnel might be able to pay attention for more than five minutes...
Your fic needs work. Too unrealistic.
