Will McCarthy be Vacated from Speakership? Who Will Succeed McCarthy?
-

And once given power, the pro-tem guy may have even freer rein to compromise with the Dems because he's not gunning for real Speakership and thus not as beholden to the moron caucus.

The pro tempore guy Rep. McHenry is threatening to quit if the House GOP pressures him to move legislation without explicitly voting to expand the pro tempore's powers.
I don't blame him. It would be chicken shit of the House GOP if they force the pro tempore to move legislation without having the courage to vote to give the pro tempore that power.

Gaetz, who led the charge against McCarthy, blamed “the swamp” for Jordan’s defeat. “The most popular Republican in the United States Congress was just knifed by a secret ballot, in a private meeting, in the basement of the Capitol,” he told reporters. “It’s as swampy as swamp gets,

I ain't skeered...
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!?
DON’T let them eat cake.
