I’m hoping the Republicans lose track of the counts, and Hakeem Jeffries becomes Speaker. If a few Reps miss a vote, or too many R’s vote “present”, there’s a chance it could happen.
Well, they wouldn’t be in charge of the order of business, so there’s a chance that Jeffries, in his role as Speaker, could not recognize that motion.
Also, as the other guy pointed out, McCarthy being oustable by a single person was only a part of the dumb deal he agreed to the first time round. But getting a majority of R’s to oust Jeffries won’t be hard.
"Should've gotten rid of that little shit while we had the chance." McCarthy, probably. It's insane to me there's now some possibility of a Speaker Gaetz.
Well… when Teddy Roosevelt failed to gain the support of the Republican Party, he formed the Progressive party and republican voters were split between him and Taft, leading to Woodrow Wilson gaining the presidency.
