There is pure insanity in the Republican majority in the House of Representatives, as newly nominated Congressman Tom Emmer of Minnesota has withdrawn his candidacy for Speaker of the House of Representatives, as about 26 Republican hardliners refuse to support him.
It is time for a bipartisan agreement, with Democrats helping to elect Speaker Pro Tem Patrick McHenry of North Carolina, with the assistance of the more moderate Republicans, from the Problems Solvers Caucus, including those from Long Island, New York joining Don Bacon of Nebraska and Brian Fitzgerald of Pennsylvania and other rational Republicans, of which there are not many!
The Republican Party in the House of Representatives has been hijacked by seditionists and traitors who do not care if they cause damage to our country, and instead, only care about remaining loyal to Donald Trump!
We are now in the fourth week of paralysis in the lower house of Congress, and this cannot continue, without major disaster for the nation and the world!
It’s Groundhog Day again! Republicans are trying for a fourth time. Nominee this time is Mike Johnson. There’s uncertainty as to whether he has the votes.
This intraparty animosity may mean that we are witnessing the GOP breaking up in real time.
This Mike Johnson guy has been a vocal supporter of Trump and was a key congressional figure in the failed efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Trump has weighed in, giving his stamp of approval.
Halfway through the vote. So far, Mike Johnson has lost zero Republicans.
Election denier Johnson is the new Speaker.
Trump has been fined $10,000 in the civil fraud case for violating the gag order.
