Republicans are lucky that a majority, rather than a plurality, is required to become speaker. Otherwise, considering the divisions on the Republican side and the razor thin margin, Jeffries would be all but guaranteed to win with a plurality.
The big question mark regarding Scalise is his health; he announced a cancer diagnosis just 2 months ago.

The IDIOT GOP Just Nominated Another RINO for Speaker!!!

I love how the Republican party cant even come toa conslusion on who their republican rep should be for the next speaker.

Lama dogbert is talking about how she is going to vote for Jim Jordan anyway? Because... ummm... she is in highschool? or something?

Marge talking about how she doesnt want anyone to have phones during the closed door private meeting because she hates 'snitches'

these people actually talk like high school children

its fucked

we warned when yall elected these clowns that it would be the downfall of the GOP

and *checks notes* yep thats exactly waht they are doing.

New level of incompetence

45 days will come quick

Then it won’t just be Israel in trouble but another credit downgrade and only so much treasuries can take tbh

I love how after years of being force fed propaganda - the sheer notion of some people not belonging to an echo chamber seems shocking to you

Scalise has dropped out of the race - making Jim Jordan the presumptive nominee & speaker

https://www.politico.com/news/2023/10/20/trump-tom-emmer-speaker-bid-00122875

So after Jim Jordan got voted out of the race by secret ballot today, and Tom Emmer became the -next- presumptive frontrunner with a big asterisk next to his name, Donald Trump has begun to weigh in with a similar secret-not-secret offensive against Emmer, saying Trump would oppose him as speaker. This of course comes down to Emmer being even further left of McCarthy and refusing to endorse Trump in the primaries. Which of course will leave the Republicans in yet another power vacuum. If Jim Jordan is too far right, and Emmer is too far left, who will have the porridge at just the right temperature?

I still don't see why they're trying so hard to pass over Scalice at every chance. Jordan had his moment, Scalice is just a hair right of McCarthy and willing to appease the far right and isn't tainted by McCarthy's compromising with democrats. If they really try to tar him with that brush, Scalice will just say the democrats fucking shot him.

I'm not going to root for the home boy, lets be real Emmer has a 0% chance of taking the GOP chair, that would equate to an all-out anti-Trump revolution of the party. Emmer is far from a never-Trumper, he's a centrist who has ridden a careful risk-adverse line, sort of like what Klobuchar does in the senate for the DNC. But the GOP won't accept someone who wasn't willing to throw in their lot with Trump at the helm. I mean, unless Emmer shows up tomorrow wearing a MAGA hat and saying 'lock her up' and kissing the ring, but I don't think anyone would buy it for a minute
