Renegade7 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 What makes this great was Kevin walking around like he was destined for the position before hand, giving interviews on what he would do when speaker, not if. *chefs kiss So...how do we get Jefferies as Speaker, instead? I'm not a math major, but it looks like he has the most votes three rounds in a row. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A candidate requires votes from a majority of lawmakers who are voting to be elected speaker. That means if all 435 members are present and voting, the number of votes needed is 218. But lawmakers can decide to skip the vote, or vote "present," which reduces the vote threshold needed to win the speakership. Speakers Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and John Boehner, R-Ohio, both won the speakership without reaching 218 votes 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted January 3, 2023 Author Share Posted January 3, 2023 He's ruined more GOP careers than the few loud ones he created. 2 minutes ago, Cooked Crack said: You don't unless Republicans start voting for him or voting present. Right. They'd have better luck finding 4-10 moderate Republicans (no clue who) with one willing to nominate another and all the Dems supporting the Rep with those few Republicans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fergasun Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 The 19 hardliners are delusional. Every Dem should be on all political news talking about how arch conservatives think they have to "save the country by shutting down the country". When they are just taking themselves out of power. I bet McCarthy and the party raised money and supported all of them. They all know this session is going to suck anyways. Just crazy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 2 hours ago, Jabbyrwock said: This would be far more amusing if it didn't feel like a dress rehearsal for not raising the debt ceiling later this year. Assume there won't be actual votes on that. Because the Dems would vote to raise it. Only way it doesn't get passed is if almost every single R votes against it. (Or if they successfully poison it. Like, a bill to raise the ceiling and also eliminate Social Security, or some such.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PleaseBlitz Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Next vote, I want one (1) Dem to vote for McCarthy. Not enough to get him elected, but just one so the MAGA wing goes berserk over the possibility that the Dems could elect McCarthy at any time. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
