The search for a new Speaker of the House within the Republican Party has caused divisions, with Representative Matt Gaetz challenging Kevin McCarthy's position. Gaetz's move has been praised by some moderate Republicans, who are now considering supporting Representative Patrick McHenry for the role. The GOP is facing internal tensions, with only 10% of Congress being aligned with the MAGA movement. The outcome of the Speaker search will determine the party's direction and ability to unite.
Why do you think every Democrat voted to get rid of McCarthy? You'd think they would like a weak Republican leader if that's what he was as Gaetz claims.
The vast majority of Republicans wanted McCarthy to remain speaker. Gaetz led a mini revolt and colluded with Democrats to oust him. I'd be surprised if these same Republicans turn around and give Gaetz a win with Jordan. We'll see.
More on McHenry. Again, Gaetz was BRILLIANT for taking out McCarthy! Genius! Moderate House Republicans Plot To Empower McHenry Amid Stalled Speaker Search - The Messenger https://t.co/RHRA649SYL
Well I pray the GOP can save itself from this Speaker mess Gaetz created, but it will take a miracle. Let's be realistic. There was a REASON McCarthy was chosen in the first place. The GOP is not united. Only 10% of Congress is MAGA. Only a practical, get things done, low… https://t.co/8Dt953ua6v
Folks, only 8 Republicans voted to get rid of McCarthy. Most of the House is PISSED at troublemaker Gaetz for colluding with the Democrats to take McCarthy out. If they get a chance to humiliate Gaetz they'll take it.
So, basically Gaetz led the ouster of McCarthy as Speaker with absolutely no plan on what do after that?
Do you honestly think every damned Democrat voted with Gaetz to bounce McCarthy so we could elect a MORE CONSERVATIVE speaker? No, they KNEW this would be a cluster and we'd look like fools.
McCarthy when asked if he was could return to Speakership, says that is up to the conference. Says “Can you imagine if we were sitting here listening to Gaetz and Mace during a shutdown?”
