Johnson Fails To Claim Leadership On First Ballot.

[Missourian]

Mike Johnson came up short in his bid to remain speaker on the first ballot.

https://www.politico.com/news/2025/01/03/mike-johnson-to-fail-first-house-speaker-vote-00196387

Reps. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.), Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Keith Self (R-Texas) voted against Johnson in the alphabetical roll call vote. Johnson can only afford to lose one GOP vote and still reclaim the gavel, meaning he needs to flip at least two of those members in subsequent ballots and not lose any other support.

About a dozen other Republicans who were undecided going into the vote opted to back Johnson. Six of them were silent during the initial roll call but later voted for Johnson: Reps. Andy Biggs (Ariz.), Michael Cloud (Texas), Andy Harris (Md.), Andrew Clyde (Ga.), Chip Roy (Texas) and Paul Gosar (Ariz.).

Fake news...

You have to admit, that all 3 of these Leftists come on here, attempting to make like political pundits, and end up looking ridiculous, lololol. They should stick with their main jobs, poverty pimpery, hehehehehehehehe!

Now they just sat johnson on his throne & are applauding him.

Turn on your TV.

When I retired, I made a couple rules for myself.

1) No watching TV during the day unless it's an important football game or a National Event.

2) No Day Time drinking unless it can't be avoided. Like Boating, Fishing, etc. Has to be along with a physical activity.

When I read that Johnson had won, I went back to check FNC and they said he'd lost. 4cereal I saw it with my own eyes.

But FNC has turned into a pile of shit in the last year or so. Even worse than before. And I refuse to give the DISGUSTING FILTH a click. No way. Not gonna happen.

Take your eyes off the ball for 2 minutes and........

Mike Johnson re-elected House speaker after GOP mutiny threat dissolves

House Speaker Mike Johnson will hold onto his position as head of the chamber after Republicans cast their votes in his favor. President-elect Donald Trump threw his support behind Johnson.

www.foxnews.com

and what? He was elected.

You forgot Bitching.

Yup...I saw it too...but at that moment Johnson was in the "cloak room" beating 2 repub's like slugo beating Mr. Bill.

They came out of the cloak room & started singing a different tune

A razor majority is NOT a majority. He will get the McCarthy treatment soon enough

The irony is the Democrats would pass legislative death camps with the same numbers.

 

[imawhosure]

You forgot Bitching.

Maybe true, but the bunch of them practicing in unison being race hustling, POVERTY PIMPS, is the most laughable thing I have ever seen!

Out of curiosity------------>how many USMBers believe/think, that IM2 is a sock for Curried Goats?!?!?!?!?!?! While we know we can NOT dox these people, maybe we should start connecting their primary accounts with their SOCKS; all in an effort to count how many Leftists on here there really is, lol. I believe 10 or 12 with a bunch of SOCKS, and then they do have a few stand alones.........maybe, but I wouldn't bet my life that there is more than 1 to 3 stand alones-)

An interesting tidbit. Nancy with a broken hip and a replacement is standing up and down multiple times. And this with not relaxing as she came over from Europe. They lie to your face.... the backstabbers.

 

[Thunk]

I wonder if Trump made a call to those 2 repubs to get them to change their votes?

This goes to show the power of Trump already...and he's not even sworn in yet

 

[Edgetho]

See? I not be shitting on you!! Everybody really did have Johnson losing the first vote!!

Didja notice? The Reichstag members voted unanimously for Hakeem (the dream) Jeffries! 100% They didn't need any coaxing

shocking, ain't it?!

I know that now but the DISGUSTING FILTH really did have him losing the first vote.

 

[Modern Messiah]

Did you expect him to lose? He had to stop the vote and have a meeting in order to get it done

For those of you who are a little slow on the uptake.
Speaker Johnson won on the first vote.
Try to keep up guys.
You sick of loosing yet?

 

[berg80]

My first question to Mike would be what did he have to promise to turn the two dissenters around?

 

[para bellum]

I know that now but the DISGUSTING FILTH really did have him losing the first vote.

It did appear that way, all the votes had been cast and Johnson was shy a majority.

The media just jumped the gun- the vote was held open long enough to strongarm 2 holdouts into changing their vote.

I had it on C-Span live, it looked for a while like they were getting ready for another round of voting, and then it wasn't necessary.

 

[1srelluc]

LOL.....The OP is suckin' eggs about now.

218>215
Literally a majority.
Do you even know what the word majority means?
I think this thread is devolving.
Just like you.
