Vacate Watch - Speaker Mike Johnson (R - LA)

[Dribble]

FWIW, a Democratic strategist on CNN just agreed with me.

Jordan as the face of Republicans in the House would give Dems a big advantage in 2024.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And that is why we will lose. The Democratic Party has lost itself. Policy based on scoring points and not results. They are in denial.

I have told you to go to any small town...anywhere in any state...you choose. Go to the diner open for breakfast. Sit. Listen.

Who do you believe? Your own ears? Or the pundits?

 

[ll74]

But what Democrats fail to recognize...or accept...is it is a small percentage of Americans that care about his past behavior.

I am still hearing the same thing...Jordan does not have the votes to win first ballot. If he doesn't win the second...McCarthy will be re-nominated...assuming he accepts it. If I was him...i would if the Rules are changed to prevent this from occurring again. This is the best path forward for the country given the existing political nature. It is up to the Moderate Republicans...get rid of Trump the best they can...or cave to Trump.

Next Fall Republican political ads:

The Democrats joined forces with 8 traitors plunging the House of Representatives into chaos ...betraying our allies when they most needed us. They did this without a plan simply to score what they perceived as a political victory. How a person votes...matters...and should be thought through looking at the consequences of that vote. This election...all we ask...is to ask yourself...would you vote with traitors to score points?

Sorry you don't like how government works. Democrats nominated and voted for Jeffries, the only choice who has promised to work for Democrats (and even work across the aisle to do so)

Republicans are the majority....if they vote Jordan, it's their grave in 2024.

 

[Dribble]

9 votes for "others". If those votes are "present"...Jordan won

 

[ll74]

Jordan doesn't have enough votes.

Second vote expected.

I know more about politics than you ever will.

Watch and learn. Don't cry to me in 24

Do you know how the "others" voted? Since you "know" so much...what happens if they voted "present"?

The vote is still going on. Been watching it live.

Multiple votes for Scalise and McCarthy.

Yes, I know what voting Present means. My rep voted Jeffries.

Then it goes to the second ballot just like I heard.

I said that already. Hence the "second vote expected" part.

I said it on Friday....remember? Who did I say would be the next Speaker?

Sucks being you....days behind in facts

Awesome for you. Nobody cares.

I was specifically providing an update from the actual vote.

Note: predictions aren't facts they are guesses about future things.

 

[RoryN]

So far, the vote is going worse for Jordan than expected.

What concessions do you want or should democrats expect for voting present or not voting?

 

[RoryN]

A W K W A R D.

 

[RoryN]

Ally of Jim Jordan's, to CNN: "This was much worse than we expected."

Sounds like the dumb fucker isn't much of a salesperson - he might have lost himself some people in the past 24 hours.

 

[ll74]

A W K W A R D.

17 votes short. I wonder how many rounds they would go today before convening. I don't think they'd risk the same duration as last go, though I guess Jordan has said (via CNN) that he'll go as many rounds as it takes.

 

[RoryN]

...I guess Jordan has said (via CNN) that he'll go as many rounds as it takes.

*crosses fingers" I hope so! Current rumblings are that he'll lose more votes if there's a next round.

McCarthy received 201 votes and saw that they expected more than that for the first round this time.

They just went to recess, so that line about Jordan obviously was wrong...though still a chance for another vote later today.

You don't even vote and whine about politics all day every day. But however you need to make yourself feel better, more power to you. I'm all about self care

 

[Pad_Foot]

What a great uniter!
Make America Great Again
Destroy the whole giving government
Build trust over seas when you can’t build it in the House
Incompetent Fools

 

[Dribble]

Jordan has already collected 3 votes in the second ballot.

Watch and learn

Dude...you have no clue what you are talking about. The kids table is over there

 

[Dribble]

LaMalfa has said yes. I do not know the other 2. Gimenez says no...

Still think McCarthy will win out tonight

 

[Comshaw]

What it will come down to: Will those opposing Jordan have enough fortitude, courage and character to hold their ground, or will they cave? They may look at Liz Cheney and then follow the crowd to a Jordan as speaker conclusion. Or they may have enough backbone to hold to their position. If so what then? McCarthy again? Or a more moderate Republican candidate? You aren't going to see any Republicans vote for Jefferies. Ain't gunna happen no more than would be if things were reversed.

If Jordan is Speaker, don't expect much legislation to get passed. There might be some bills that get out of the house, but they are going to be shut down in the Senate. I really can't see a winning solution to this mess any which way it goes.
