More likely that a number of Democrats will just vote "Present" when they find a palatable speaker. Too bad, because Emmer was as close as they were going to get for a while.

Nah, that’s on permanent lease by the Squad, Pelosi, and the POTUS.

Yeah you got gaetz, mtg, and the the girl getting felt up lol. I think they should nominate Haley.

Or Santos. He only has 10 counts instead of 91. Pelosi 1 ballot

You’re just jealous Boebert wouldn’t let you take her out for a play date. :)
