Until he does.He will negotiate no more.
All these years of standing for exactly nothing are coming home to roost.
Or something like that.
Until he does.He will negotiate no more.
I wonder what that means.
How many "present" votes to lower the quota such that the Democrats could "accidentially" push thru their own candidate
I read it as meaning the Freedom Caucus agreed to support McCarthy's Speakership provided he agreed to their terms, such as a rule allowing for a single member to move to remove the current Speaker.
Democrats current have 212 votes (a member recently died) and the Republicans have 222.

BREAKING: The 1st round count is over.
Rep Hakeem Jeffries dusted McCarthy, 212-203.
FUCKING HILARIOUS.
