The fact that Mitch McConnell wants him has speaker…. Says it all.

[andywilson]

I'm loving this. The swamp is finally meeting resistance. In times like these you get to see who reaaaallllyyy supports the "uniparty" system.

[ettakelley]

Calm down Fox, we need the RIGHT PERSON, it hasn't been that long, we have the patience

[daveminer]

The only ones calling this process messy, is Fox. The rest of us just saw a 1.7 Trillion dollar spending package sail through that place on greased skids just a few days ago, without a peep from the House. They were all too busy with what seemed like National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, the sequel . Those of us who voted for less spending and more debate are quite satisfied with the attendance and deliberations so far. It seems like 100 years since there was actually good debating going on in the otherwise empty building. It should be that way before they spend so much as one penny more of our money! 🇺🇸

[lakebreezes]

McCarthy needs to understand we do not want him!

[gigiowen]

Yes, this is how things are supposed to work! We cannot just given in and it's apparent that some representatives are actually fighting for the people of this nation!

[Danielleurbaniak]

This is what is supposed to happen. A lot of people don't want McCarthy as speaker. I applaud the 20 standing up for the people. McCarthy is not for the people.

[KTMsoldier]

What do those 201 republicans need. They need to listen to their constituents because no one wants Kevin Mccarthy

[KPHVAC]

Keep fighting!!!! We need a real conservative as Speaker!!

[marshb]

This is how a democratic republic works!! Hooray a long last.

[moshemo]

The argument of "it is only 20 people" is a weak argument. He needs to get over 50% of the vote. If he can't get over 50% of the vote that is not the fault of the people who don't vote for him. Those 20 don't have an obligation to vote for someone just because 200 people do vote for him.

It's ONE MEMBER, ONE VOTE -- not, one member, one vote SO LONG AS THEY VOTE LIKE I WANT THEM TO VOTE!

[santiagogold]

This entire process has given me some hope

[lizzieb]

It’s about time they are WORKING! We need the CORRECT INDIVIDUAL in this incredibly important Office.

[wnchstrman]

This ends when McCarthy quits. Its that simple.

[mathompson]

Whatever you think of the whole process or McCarthy himself it is interesting that this is the first time I'm seeing someone on Fox (besides Tucker obviously) that has even dared utter that maybe a portion of Republican voters might be wanting this.

[bigtimer]

Kevin if you asked a girl out 10 times and she said NO 10 times you would think you would get the point. WE THE PEOPLE DONT WANT YOU

[jonathanpasch]

If this was a blind vote, McCarthy would get crushed.

[deborahjohnson]

Yes we like to see the fight for a change to the broken system. American people are patient, let this work out. The entire country will hopefully benefit...even those 200 and their constituents.

[craigborden]

YES! Absolutely love this process. Exactly what our fathers laid out for us. Drain the swamp....

[coreenaburke]

Because FINALLY someone's thinking about we, the people!
