I think they’ll end up giving full speaker power to the pro-tem guy, without actually electing him speaker.

At this point, every outcome is as likely as any other,” former Rep. Peter Meijer, a Michigan Republican who’s considering a Senate bid, told The Dispatch on Friday. “Might as well just start throwing a 222-sided die and keep holding votes round and round until January 3, 2025.”

Perhaps but you’ve offered no opinion since the majority of the GOP conference told Jordan to fuck off already.
What’s your response to yet another Trump pick losing? And not just in a general but among elected Republicans!?
