I really appreciate the updates. For many reasons I do not want to see Jordan become the speaker, esp since Trump is pushing so hard for it to happen. I'm worried what will happen when it becomes time to certify the 2024 election. When Trump loses again he will tell GYM to not certify and of course GYM will do as he says. Then what do we do? Jordan is very dangerous to our Constitution, the Rule of Law and our democracy.
I agree and there have been online discussions of the possibility of Jordan not certifying trump if he were speaker of the House. In conjunction with that, what is also unsettling is that trumpers have been laying the foundation of election “trickery” at state and local levels all across the country in the event Trump returns to the presidency. I read an article a few days ago about a not widely known aide for trump who has been crisscrossing the US meeting with election officials advocating for and planning how voting laws and guidelines can be changed to favor trump and his maga followers. These are situations and possible dangers everyone needs to hear about and heed.
Thank you. We need your voice. I wish you were still in the room, but that's for the sake of the country -- I'm sure not being in the room is better for your sanity. ;) Please keep breaking it down for us. Sane voices are gold these days.
Too bad there aren’t 5 moderate republicans who would put country over party instead of feality to the mango Mussolini, but they have no spine and no courage.
Meanwhile, the entire house showed them how it’s done with 100% support for Jeffries.
Ideologically you don’t have to agree with the Dems. They aren’t the enemy, ffs. They keep talking about a bipartisan coalition govt. you don’t think that wouldn’t take debate and compromise?
adam, good job. thank you. i am independent and veteran living in hellscape florida. its not the humidity ,its the stupidity. i am hoping for the country to move forward. our enemies are watching. i wish some democrats would reach over and elect McCarthy back if they can't get a moderate. i have made phone calls to both the dems and your republican moderates. i love you guy. your a good one the republicans lost.
If the next speaker has to be held under the same rules they developed for Kevin, no wonder no one wants it other than Jordan - he's so inept, he can't run a committee hearing under Robert's Rules, much less run the House.
What a nice surprise. Just maybe a few more will grow up and start working for the people and stop pandering to the clown cart bullies. I look forward to your updates and your comments.
Gymbo - as transparent as a pane of glass - salivates for the Speakership more than McCarthy did. Trump and the MAGA crowd want it. BAD. It would cement their total control over the party. It would mean anyone calling themselves a "true conservative" Republican will have capitulated any shred of integrity, collective power, and allegiance to the country - to the dust bin of history. They will be remembered for that.
My prediction is (if Gym is elected) the party will lose the house in 2024. What happens between now and then will be a total cluster.
Seems likely to me that there will be one more vote. If Gym fails to gain more votes - or even loses some - they will move to grant temporary power to McHenry. At least they can get SOME work done and try and salvage a total loss of voter confidence for 2024. Gym and his allies will then go to work using the RW media to try and hammer the holdouts into submission.
You NO votes hold fast and do NOT throw your party and our country under the bus.
Slow it down. Put McHenry to work for 30 days. And pick a BETTER option for Speaker!
When, if ever, do you think someone, anyone will hold GYM accountable for the subpoena he didn't obey? I see a lot of chatter about how he's never passed a bill in his 19 years on the hill, and more importantly how he covered up for a pedophile, but not obeying a recent subpoena, and being Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee should be more than enough for half of the House of Reps to never vote for him. It should be obvious to everyone that he is nothing more than Trump's puppet.
Thank you, Adam. I saw the vote, watched a bit of the coverage afterwards and was waiting for you to come here and give us some insight. I do think that Jordan will keep up the pressure campaign and utilize the right wing media. In the end, I think he does wind up to be speaker but would be relieved to be wrong on that. Not sure what the next step would be if Jordan doesn’t get, would love a consensus speaker but that seems unlikely.

Never McCarthy again.
These are great updates. Thank you!

The point Jeffries made on “Meet the Press” Sunday? Welken anyway.
Adam, thank you for this valuable information and the willingness to share with us to keep us informed. It’s important.
Thank you Adam! It's like having back stage passes :)

Jim Jordan will not be able to lead the House any more than McCarthy was. What is the future going forward to functioning government?
I think that Jordan will eventually get the Speakership, horrible as that is to contemplate. They're all terrified of Fox News, Hannity and Trump.
Nah.....not gonna happen.

No, No No....lots of water under the bridge before that catastrophic outcome.
Jordan is not a legislator. He's a Trumpite election denier - Trump's mini-me.
I applaud the courageous Republicans trying to deny Trump control of the House. Big pat on the back for you, Adam. Your insights are invaluable.
I love bacon...lol
I'm talking about the kind we have for breakfast haha
Thanks for the updates
