Here we are in Day Two of the latest Republican inability to pick a new Speaker of the House of Representatives, and in so doing, paralyzing the ability of the federal government to do anything!
It seems as if Steve Scalise will not be able to gain 217 votes, and neither likely will Jim Jordan.
It is now time for five or more Republicans (such as Don Bacon of Nebraska, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, and a few of the newly elected Republicans from New York from Biden Districts) to cross party lines, and join Democrats in making Hakeem Jeffries Speaker of the House!
Steve Scalise didn’t have enough votes and dropped out. Jim Jordan is the nominee now, but doesn’t have enough votes either.
