That's Byron "felony bribery" Donalds to you, by the way https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byron_Donalds#Early_life_and_education of course he's an election denier but that seems to be the requisite for consideration by the HFC

It should be at least +1 from yesterday because Donalds will (I assume) vote for himself and Jordan didn't.

So did McCarthy actually try to do anything to help himself between yesterday and today or were the cuckoo caucus the only ones with any sort of strategy to increase their vote numbers?

StumblyWumbly posted:A few folks have been saying that since the Senate doesn't need a Speaker until the 23rd, neither does the House. As I mentioned in the USCE thread the DC Delegate has her floor privileges (she still can't vote but should be able to be on committees, bring bills, argue on the floor etc) revoked whenever Republicans come into power because they are assholes and then is reinstated when the Dems return, so she's kinda stuck in limbo right now.

It's absurd but so is everything else about this.
