Until a speaker is elected no one can be sworn in. The current count of Republicans in the House is 218 since Gatez resigned and another member is in an assisted living center in a memory care unit. Therefore they can only lose 1 vote for speaker not 2. Democrats have 210 current members due to 4 resigning and 1death.
Why can't Gaetz come in, take his seat so he can caste his vote for the speaker and two days later resign again? The damage on house ethics exposing his issue is already done. This could be his best revenge against the democrats - get Trump's agenda started.
@@teresabasson3809 Well considering the cheers and applause from both sides of the aisle when it was announced that Gaetz wasn't returning to Congress for the 119th session that's an answer. Why revenge against Democrats what did they do that wasn't above board? As far as trump's agenda the proper wording is trump's next train wreck.
Same kind of reasoning that is deceitful. The conservative Republicans want a Speaker who will negotiate strongly , not cave almost completely! Not hard stuff! Have 3 votes for JOhnson, Donalds, Jordan and maybe Musk among themselves. Not hard!
Massie, Roy, and Spartz. One of them is functionally an independent, another is functionally a libertarian, and the third does have a brain, but refuses to use it for any constructive purpose. None of the 3 give a rat's behind about President Trump or the American people. It's sickening.
First time that I've heard of Grassley being president pro-temp if they can't pick a Speaker I wouldn't object to that Grassley is so old that could keel over at any moment, but he was once a good Senator for the state of Iowa He's leaned farther to the right these days, but occasionally he does actually do the right thing for Iowa and go against his own party
PLEASE!!!! Vote for Mike johnson. If he loses then trump can't take office and we need leadership in this country. Isn't that more important? Trump will handle Mike Johnson. We need an acting president to help us!! We are crumbling and Noone in DC cares about us. Help We the people, stop this government stalling.
Judiciary ethics are gone.
Donald was not held accountable.
I think you're absolutely correct. They all pledged an oath to uphold the constitution , They have not done this.
Corruption run amok
WSJ is a swamp-as-usual mouthpiece. Out with Johnson.
Johnson is a bad bet.Trump he'll backstab you in a minute.
Think speaker Paul Ryan
@@christianspraying1688 it’s the backstabbers isn’t it? 🤡

Poor explanation as to why Republicans are unhappy with Johnson.
Leaders have followers. Mike Johnson followers are??????
There is only one "leader" in the MAGA party. Everyone else is just a tool for him.
Mikes sure is a good story teller.
Will MOSES MIKE cross the RED SEA❓
OR
Will MOSES MIKE cross the RED HATS❓
If not now, then when.
Mikey will just ship billions more to Ukraine and ignore every bill that would benefit just the homeland.
Hakeem Jeffries is the best choice.
Unified government? Time will tell.
The far right elected the divider in chief back in November
There will be no unity

DO NOT NEED PELOSI'S "HAND PUPPET", HAKEEM JEFFRIES, TO EVER BECOME SPEAKER. JEFFRIES IS A JOKE!!!!
How many politicians reas the Wikipedia box on this video? Its all about elections... they ought to.

Even if he looses Trump will still have to be sworn in
Jim Jordan for Speaker!
He lost repeated votes last year.
No no good.
No Jim Jordan is not qualified and they refused to vote for him last time!!
Gym is a predator.
Heck no
I support Mike Johnson!!!
you don't support anybody. Nothing on your page and you are a Russian/Chinese bot trying to stir up problems
What if Trump isn’t the actual President and it’s actually Elon? 😂🤣
