I think the Republicans should do this for two years. Would be the greatest two years in politics for decades!!

[inthenameofthefather.]

Has to suck to be McCarthy right about now 🤣🤣🤣

[stagedrightevents]

This entire "Elect a Speaker" process is an insult to those of us who elected these clowns to office. When the Republicans put forth a candidate they say the same thing over and over and talk this big game of how bad the Democrats are, but how "they" plan to "Fix" Washinton when they can't even fix their own party! This is a clown show!

What's happening is awesome, and exactly what our founding fathers envisioned. McCarthy either needs to concede to these 20 people, or step down for this speaker role.

Kevin McCarthy already moved into the speakers office The gall of some people. He was so sure he would win the vote. 3 votes and he lost all three.

I can’t imagine how he must feel with SIX LOSSES in two days after making countless trips down to Florida for two years to kiss Diaper Don’s ring.

I bet it’s terrible. 🤤

Jefferies has 212 solid votes. Moderate Republicans should be offered committee chairs and coalition in exchange for voting for Jefferies. Only 6 needed.

[MrReed]

Pelosi must be laughing so hard..Maybe he should ask her for advice..

[agegracefully]

Biden got the nerve to call someone embarrassing 😭

[JoeVSvolcano]

After listening to McCarthy I get it. Jim Jordan is the better choice...

[thewayiseeit]

Waste of MONEY! Tell them they aren’t getting paid OVERTIME and this will be over in a few minutes!

[americanpaisareturns]

They’re all swamp creatures.
Two wings of the same bird.

[phampton]

How dare the republicans say this is not how this body is suppose to run or be when some of them were involved in the insurrection and traitors to this very country. Wow how soon they try to forget but we will not let them off like that. They need to be held accountable for what they tried to do to our democracy

[doctormccarty]

Kevin McCarthy would do better with total honesty for the American people!

[eddiev]

Jim Jordon is the Strongest of them all and is a Wonderful asset to be Speaker of the House of Representatives.

[Patrick]

Side aches from watching MAGA GOP implode. 🤣🤣

[daveycrockett]

What 6 of those 20 should do is threaten to vote for Jeffries, if McCarthy doesnt step down- that would get McCarthy’s attention- that outcome would be the worst case scenario for the GOP.

[josefalcis]

Corrupt politicians want a piece of the pie.

[djjohnson]

Good I’m glad they are standing there ground. Term limits. End career politicians
