She’s coming through loud and clear on MSNBC.
A “Yes” vote is “Give him the boot”, right?
Correct.
Yea …
8 GOP yes votes now
Never mind.
That’s the ballgame folks. 214
So there will be a Temp Speaker.
When does the vote for the next speaker take place?
Although people can change their votes apparently.
there are a few that haven’t voted… it looks like they are doing a bit of house keeping before hammering down.
and done. speaker is vacated.
patrick mchenry is pro tem.
Done deal. Nice going Republicans. How many more embarrassing firsts can you foist on our country.
Well, according to the vote results, the Speaker has been removed. Final tally:
Yea: 216.
Nay: 210.
Patrick McHenry is now Speaker Pro Tem, being the first name on the list McCarthy submitted per House rules. He immediately recessed the House subject to the call of the chair.
Republicans are awesome!
(BTW: Congrats, Democrats for sticking together.)
How many Scaramucci’s did he last?
…and he banged his gavel with authority, almost as if he was angry about it.
I wonder what the over/under is on how many rounds of votes it will take to elect a Speaker this time.
How many more ways can K-Mac be humiliated on the House floor? Pantsed by Pelosi? Freedom Caucus holds him down while Gaetz sharpies BALLS on his forehead? Bare-assed paddling by members of The Squad?
So at least
McHenry did not join the majority of Republican members of Congress who sided with the Trump campaign’s attempts to overturn the 2020 United States presidential election. He voted in favor of certifying both Arizona’s and Pennsylvania’s votes in the 2021 United States Electoral College vote count.
He predates MAGA and wasn’t Tea Party.
Overall his voting record is pretty mainstream Republican but he has voted in favor of Aid for the Ukraine consistently.
Head of iceberg lettuce wins again!!
Well Kevin, you might have gotten bailed out by Democrats if you hadn’t gone on the Sunday shows and called them communists. When neither party trusts you, you don’t belong in the speakership.
