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

I think they'll end up temporarily expanding McHenry's powers to get through the current crisis, funding the government, and giving Ukraine & Israel assistance. That will have to be done with bipartisan support.

This is the most likely outcome
 
Genuinely curious now if this all goes south and Congress needs to pass something in an emergency (like say a war powers authorization…) can the house just empower McHenry to do it as acting speaker?

The democrats will supposedly go along with this so long as there are changes to house rules. The current rules allow for too much chaos from the crazies.
 
I don't blame D's for letting the Republicans shoot themselves in the face. Pretty enticing politically and the R's would have done the same if the situations were reversed.

Just can't get over them all voting with Matt Gaetz to blow up the house...thought a few would vote to prevent that. Given that Ukraine aid and the next CR are up in the air.

The current shit show was the inevitable result given the 15 votes it took McCarthy to get the speakership in the first place. Not like this is coming as shock.

It's definitely a political W for the D's though...puts R dysfunction on full display.

The country loses, but oh well.
Blame Kevin McCarthy and his big mouth for the Democrats not bailing his ass out.

So they voted with Gaetz because McCarthy said mean things about them? Sounds about right

Jim Jordan’s horrible.

Good thing 208 D’s voted out McCarthy 🙄
If 200+ Dems vote on one side, & 7 Rs vote with them, isn't it more honest to say Gaetz & Co voted w the Dems, not the other way around as you swim to claim?

Sure.
