Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 2.01pm post the following, " House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy faces historic struggle to clinch speakership....All signs point to a battle royale on the House side of Capitol Hill today – and perhaps beyond – as California Republican Kevin McCarthy battles to secure enough votes to be named House Speaker, while facing fierce opposition from the right-wing of his caucus. "
Lets Get Real:
This is not the way it was meant to go, the Republicans should have had a good majority after the Mid Terms, the actual result gave the Republicans the House but by a small majority of 4. The right wing freedom caucus is making the supposed Speaker earn their votes, it is a question of how much power McCarthy will have at the end, if he gets through this stage. If your a sane Republican you want to get the House to investigate, Afghanistan, Hunter Biden, and even later down the line, if there is enough evidence to impeach Joe Biden himself. Let's recall the Democrats impeached Trump twice, once was enough, it shows what can be achieved if a party stays to together, the Biden Oval will be looking to Republican moderates to get some or anything of their agenda through over the next two years, thus a battle royal in the NOW Republican majority. Let's not forget that the 2024 race has started, it is expected that POTUS will state early that he is running again in 2024, thus the game is afoot.
