*****MAGA in disarray, who will be speaker of the House***** McCarthy REMOVED! Jim Jordan 0-3. Election denier Mike Johnson confirmed. Vote them out

No; present does not lower the vote

Absent does.
“They, instead, joined four other Republicans in the 15th and final vote by voting "present," which helped him clinch the gavel by reducing the number of votes he needed to get to a majority. He won with 216 out of 428 possible votes.”
 
Simply amazing the grip Trump still has over the party. The first thing McCarthy did was thank him.
Unpossible

GOPers on here have informed us the party has moved on past Trump. It's why they assured us voting for the GOP was a vote for actual conservatism...

Can the local Noles tell me about Gaetz’s district? Is it just like the Florida’s Florida?

This is pretty hilarious
I live in Gaetz district and I don't understand why he keeps getting elected. It's actually not a bad place to live. Beautiful beaches, large Navy population (Who I don't believe is able to vote for this district's representation) who actually makes the area feel fairly diverse at times. BUT the locals are about as MAGA as MAGA can get. They like that he makes the libs cry and they believe most of the conspiracy nonsense.

It is a great area to live in and mostly really good people. But there is a reason Pensacola and the surrounding areas are often referred to as Lower Alabama, and it is not just because of proximity.

That's even more true in the more rural parts of the western panhandle like where I live. You don't have to search long to find a Trump 2024 or FJB flag flying in someone's front yard.
 
Most amazing thing in this was there was not a single moderate sane Republican member in the house the Democrats could have helped win. Not one.
There are no moderate Republicans on the national stage. Not one. Not even Mitt can be counted on. There are the wing nuts and the HFC that runs that shit show now.
