I totally agree the Americans are used to seeing Congress run poorly for the last 50 years

If McCarthy cared about his party, he'd withdraw. He cares about himself, it's obvious ! 😤

[subforceusa]

We don’t want McCarthy we want someone who isn’t a RINO

[robindelude]

Yes!! Debate for a month, if necessary! Do not back down from those demands. It's almost refreshing to see the Chamber filled with the people who were elected (and get paid) to be there! It's how our CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC was intended to function.

McCarthy isn't to be trusted. Get everything in writing!

[rebepage]

No to the swamp. No to McCarthy. Stay strong, those few who are actually representing their constituents.💪

"We are electing the 3rd most powerful person" -- Exactly Hold the Line

I have had a great GREAT weak watching Kevin McCarthy stepping on a rake every day.

[ericalvarez]

It's when everyone absolutely agrees without Discord, that we should look closer to what is really going on. There should always be a healthy discussion when matters of this importance are at play

[betsyhooks]

I hope they do not bend to any pressures
We need someone whomever it ends up being ...who isn't a yes guy but a fighter

[heidigottloeb]

Why are people so upset that there finally earning there pay ? First time I’ve seen more then 5 people on the floor.

[larryburrow]

That's how a constitutional republic works.

TY Congressman. I have no problem whatsoever with the GOP debating and voting on the speaker. Most debate going in the House since I don't know how long. At the same time the children on the left side of the aisle play and behave like they are at a football game or something. I want change up. DC is broken and we need good strong leaders with COURAGE to get it back to the people's house once again. Worried McCarthy will be another Paul Ryan. Vote for change, vote for new

[purity]

I actually find this process to be very encouraging, the way the People's House was meant to be. Great debating, Pelosi changed rules, making process expedient so just a handful of people could ram thru liberal agendas. This process is educating the American people how good government is SUPPOSED to work. Don't trust the trolls and illiterate critics about chaos and division. Vote until you get it right.

[rosaviteri]

Hold the line Patriots !!! No rush. Freedom is worth fighting for 🇺🇸

[trishspinazola]

Everyone I talk to thinks this is an amazing step In the right direction!!! Thanks for taking the time to confirm just that!!

[xray]

After all this... If Kevin gets in, he'll make it his goal in life to F the people who did this to him. He'll find a way. They have to find somebody else.

[sellersbonus]

Yes, thank you! This is how our founders intended this to be. Yippie. We have discussion in the

[mikewebb]

Perfect explanation of what should be done and how government should work

[denniswilliams]

Conservative, God fearing lawmakers must hold the line!!....

[Somebody]

If only this much debate had happened on the omnibus bill…..🙄
