Vacate Watch - Speaker Mike Johnson (R - LA)

Based on conversations I've had, it seemed like not everyone really knew who Jim Jordan was before this - and how much of an egotistical sleaze he is. Or the level of caustic prick he is. They sure do now; he's showing the world.

The good news is, if he fucks up after this somehow with a scandal - and I suspect he might - he won't be able to hide.

It's the likely scenario yet again, but the prediction currently is on vote count.

Will any Democrats break with the party? Did Sean Hannity threaten whip enough Jordan votes?
 
Crenshaw was just on CNN. First time I've heard him speak where I didn't want to gag.

I've got to think that some of the younger Republicans who want to actually govern are getting pretty sick of their party with all this bullshit theater. They're not gonna flip Dem (necessarily), but I believe they're going to start pushing back and possibly do a different thing.
 
"Jim Jordan is an effective legislator" - McCarthy

That's the funniest shit I've heard all week. No legislation passed committee much less voted on. And he can't even whip enough votes from his own party.

Jfc, that opening statement says everything you need to know about the seriousness of the party
 
Wish they had a graphic for changed votes from previous.

Me too.

CNN suggested that McCarthy is behind pushing Jordan to keep trying. So, if that's the case, what is this - a MAGA effort to destroy the party?
 
The new speaker ceremony could include a knock on the speaker's head or crotch with the gavel, to make an appropriate initiation for the job.
 
The freedom caucus is offering to be removed from the conference and censured in exchange for a Jordan vote
