I'm interested to see how both come out of this.

Update: motion to vacate passes.

Two morons who are highly disliked in their own party. Of course, McCarthy just gave in to the Dems so he has the heat.

I'm also curious if the vote will be pushed to the limit on this one

Under House Rule IX, a motion to vacate the chair is considered privileged, meaning that, if it is introduced on the floor by a member, it must be put up to a floor vote within two legislative days.

Even more discord in the Republican party.

(I actually feel a bit dirty sharing that Johnson tweet- he's a complete douche)

McCarthy keeping his word publicly to Democrats on the debt ceiling bill ends up being against his backroom word to Gaetz and the extreme right.

Gaetz is not interested in governing

Motion to kill motion to oust.McCarthy seems to be DOA

 

[ll74]

Gaetz ispleading his case right now by yielding to Rep. Bob Good

I’m also curious how this will turn out. Very little loyalty in politics and I expect Democrats to join to oust him.

They have no reason to save him unless he makes a deal.

I haven't yet seen a replacement named,

7 out of 10 previous posts in here are by the thread starter. He's trying to prop it up.

I'll support the original thread on the subject instead.

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

The vote is close right now.

One problem at a time.

Awesome for you!

It's great that you came to the thread to voice your opinion on the thread topic

Just remember, if you don't tell people that you're ignoring them publicly, then it doesn't work.

Oh Pelosi was called and no answer. Hmmm.

Uh oh the yes votes are pulling ahead. Wonder what the Vegas odds are? I should have placed a bet.

She's out of town for Sen. Feinstein's funeral. You're all heart!

Funerals are for the living, dead people don’t care. She should have been there for Feinstein when she was alive, not after death.

I had a feeling that Stefanik would angle for the gavel before McCarthy got it. Not sure if it would happen, but hearing more talking about it now.
