It's a lock now, but it seems the Republicans are still counting chickens before they're hatched. Per NYTimes:quote:The whip’s office has sent out a notice that “following the fifteenth ballot, Speaker McCarthy will swear-in all Members-elect and Delegates.”

Honestly, I think if more Republicans knew that committee chairs were up for sale there would have been more votes for chaos

K-Mac is all smiles and laughs now, but I imagine it can be measured in days, maybe hours, before he realizes what he's gotten himself into. Or maybe not, he's pretty fuckin' dumb.

BIG FLUFFY DOG posted:It's very impressive that in a caucus with both the Squad, and Golden, Peltola, Cuellar; a leadership team that's completely new to leadership has managed to hold everyone together so firmly in votes and messaging with the only absence being a dude who needed surgery who still got back in time to vote. Incredible contrast to guys who've been here 2 decades and got humiliated 15 times by a gelled-up sex trafficker before surrendering completely. To be fair it's infinitely easier in the minority, and in the House, where the other side is so transparently dysfunctional.
