Republicans voted by a narrow margin on Wednesday to nominate Scalise to replace McCarthy, but several lawmakers said after the closed-door meeting that they would not vote for him on the House floor. The number of hold-outs grew over the next 24 hours, making it clear that Scalise was nowhere close to securing the 217 votes he needed to secure the gavel.
Guess we dodged the bullet of having an overt white supremacist as the Speaker of the House.
We’ll see what fresh horror the GOP tries to unleash on us next, I suppose.
Not sure I’d call Gym “fresh,” but he is horrible.
A speakership shared between Boebert and MTG;
Lmao “shared”
They’re very definitely not friends these days.
So sure, put them in a cage match with the speaker’s gavel in the middle of the arena. People would watch that, and it’d be a damn sight more useful than what the House has done recently - definitely since Monday; arguably since January 3, 2023.
lets just say that McConnel might be able to pay attention for more than five minutes…
Your fic needs work. Too unrealistic.
