I was hoping the article would go into who is angling to replace McCarthy. Who would want the job?
Makes me wonder if Beavis would want it, since he's pushing for his removal, but who knows. It was a collosal pain to even get McCarthy in the seat, so I'm thinking it's going to be a long process
Gym Jordan's Congressman Beavis, right?
Matt Gaetz is obviously Congressman Butthead.
With Jellyfish McCarthy about to lose his job, who else would want to be up there? He'd have to either kiss up to Beavis & Butthead as well as Marjorie Traitor Greene, or he'd have to make concessions with Democrats, either way, no matter who gets the seat, the next Speakership won't last long...
Oh you're right, I meant butthead. Lol
I'd watch Matt Gaetz get repeatedly embarrassed just like I watched it happen to Kevin McCarthy.
Gotta appreciate the little things.
That’s the thing, there is no one in the Republican Party who wants to actually be speaker aside from McCarthy. Gaetz and his MAGA caucus just want McCarthy out. They have no plan beyond that point, and are perfectly happy to keep the House paralyzed.
Maybe trump would take it if it would throw gum in the works of all his lawsuits. The speaker doesn't actually have to be a representative.
They say the current whip, but no one would have the votes. This is basically a coalition government.
