There is still no end in sight for the high-stakes speakership battle after House Republicans ousted Kevin McCarthy more than two weeks ago.
The search is on for a new GOP speaker nominee after Rep. Jim Jordan on Friday became the latest exit from the race, and it’s already shaping up to be a crowded candidate field.
Frustrations and divisions have only intensified within the conference as Republicans search for a way to resolve the impasse. That, along with the GOP’s narrow majority, has made it increasingly unclear whether any candidate will be able to secure the 217 votes needed to win the gavel on the House floor.
I think you have too low a bar for your government. I prefer zero evils and am not content to allow little evils to exist for amusement.
And you think you’ll achieve this by protesting in the streets until GOP selects a new speaker. Good luck.
My bar is set fairly high for my government, just not for the American one.
