BACKROOM DEALS

There was a serious huddle surrounding Mike Johnson as he directly addressed the House Freedom Caucus, including Texas Republican Keith Self and South Carolina Republican Ralph Norman, who voted against him on the first round of balloting.
A group of eight just walked into the speaker’s ceremonial office right off the House floor. Johnson’s allies, including South Dakota Republican Dusty Johnson and Wisconsin Republican Bryan Steil, also walked into the room.

It appears they may have got an agreement. Would be interesting to know what it is.

 

[Billiejeens]

Looks as if 2 of the holdouts are coming around.

 

[Billiejeens]

Round 1 is still in order -

Norman - Johnson
Self - Johnson


Victory

Thank you
The end.

Welcome to Trump's Chaos in Government

In the House Speaker Vote on January 3, 2025 it looks like yet again, the Holdouts Will Win.

The Speaker if it is Johnson will make deals and promises with these outliers.

It does not bode well for the nation. Since Democrats lost the House and the MAGA crowd has taken over the GOP, the Legislature has been in Chaos.


I'm sure there are other links to this -- live links.

Well. it didn't take a second round. Mike Johnson has now been elected Speaker of the House.. Two of the opposing Congressmen changed their votes leaving Massie in the wind.

You Democrat trolls can continue your scree but it's all over and you lost...

Hmm..

People had to go into the backrooms and cut deals. A handful of people will own the Speakership -- yet again.

Hope he didn’t give away as much as McCarthy to get the job

 

[blackhawk]

You guys should have really waited till it actually went to second vote before engaging in the predictable partisan silliness.

I like Mike.
