Kevin McCarthy failed to get House speaker votes. In fact, Hakeem Jeffries received more than he did

Looks like Kevin has 19 Kyrsten Sinema’s on his hands.

Bless his heart.

Bummer he didn’t stick around long enough to star in an Alex Jones biopic.

The GQP really needs to remove all pretense, and elect George Santos to be speaker of the house.

It’s weird that the GOP repeatedly proves that they are incapable of compromise, even. with themselves, yet they will diligently fall in line 100% against any Democratic-led proposal, regardless of what they say about bipartisanship to the public.

This is what they think makes the party they fund stupid? A routine voting process slightly more drawn out than usual? After everything that party has done in past 6 60 years?

Where to even begin. The bar starts at “insurrection” now.

He moved into the office before he won.

Everyone knows it’s bad luck to wear the t-shirt before you finish the race.

Except for the fact that it’s the hardcore Trumpers in the House who are opposing him.

I’m curious what a coalition House will look like, if that’s what it comes down to. Has anything like that ever happened before?

Looks like they’re going to have to compromise and go with Eric Trump.

Rudy? Kyle Rittenhouse?

In the 3rd round he actually lost an additional vote! This time 20 Republicans voted against him rather than 19 in the first two rounds. And that was after Jim Jordan gave McCarthy his support and asked those who were voting for him to support McCarthy instead. This is really… something.
