It’s gonna be a long 2 years, at least. 😩
Johnson - 216
Jeffries - 215
Other - 3
No vote - 1
They're trying to figure out whether to keep the vote open and convince the 3 "others" to break for Johnson, call for another vote or adjourn to work on the outliers some more.”
He’s a vile POS and should be disqualified.
That leaves 434 members with 219 Republicans and 215 Democrats. If all 434 vote, it takes 218 to win.
I love this for them.
I’m so disgusted..Johnson took the two gop who voted for Hakeem and convinced them to change their votes.
So in other words..trump threatened them.😡
I think a lot of people will want to see what the rules are and what Johnson promised to change the votes to be for himself!
Next is the Speaker. But we wouldn't have one.
Next is the President Pro Tempore of the U.S. Senate. And that's 91-year-old Class of 1980 "Reagan Robot" Chuck Grassley, an insurrection supporter.
