Commissar SFLUFAN Posted October 3, 2023 Author Share Posted October 3, 2023 From Jake Sherman: Quote OK, so here's McCarthy's current status. House Rs expected to have 219 House Ds expected to have 208 That would be 214 to remove McCarthy. So McCarthy can only lose 5 votes. Biggs, Gaetz, Good, Crane, Rosendale and Burchett have said they will vote against McCarthy. That's six right there. Buck, Mace, Mills, Spartz and Davidson have all voted against tabling. McCarthy is in deep trouble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairslinger Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 There are times when the argument that the GOP will "just replace them with someone worse" is valid. But honestly, McCarthy is already their puppet. Let them make Gaetz, Boebert, or Green Speaker so that the public has no choice but to see the stark contrast between parties. That reality check hasn't worked out too well for them with Dobbs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Is this the first time the Speaker of the US House has been removed like this? Because it's also the first time that Canada's Speaker has resigned in the manner in which they did. A bit different reasoning, though (Canada's resigned in disgrace after inadvertently inviting man who fought for Nazis to the House...while US Speaker effectively doesn't support Nazis enough to keep his job). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
