Some republican talking head was saying that the senate doesn’t sit til the 23rd, and indicated that was the deadline in their eyes.

The supposed reason McCarthy backed off in 2015 is because he was having an affair with another rep

Main Paineframe posted:There's only ~20 people objecting to that dweeb, and the other ~190 people aren't necessarily interested in immediately tossing their favorite overboard just to please a small and extremely demanding faction. They are getting pissed that McCarthy is giving up more and more, in particular they seem pissed that the 20 might “jump the line” on committee assignments. They might not be onboard to give ‘em all that they want.

Raenir Salazar posted:Could they get a procedural ruling from the clerk to attempt to switch the vote to some kind of Ranked Voting with Instant Runoff? That might still not get to 218 but might speed up the process. No? And why would anyone want to speed the process? Fundamentally this doesn’t really matter for the United States til July with the debt ceiling, because dem controlled senate and presidency means the house wont pass any laws. Any oversight they do will be bullshit like hunter bidens laptop investigations. Edit: also remember the current clerk was appointed by the dems, and it is usually their last official act to elect the opposing parties speaker, she has no incentive to bend the rules to empower republicans.
