Kevin McCarthy was voted Speaker Of The House yesterday after 15 attempts. From first to 15th Vote he had to make a lot of concessions to those Republicans who would refuse to vote for him.
All of those concessions are in the House Rules which will be voted on this coming Monday.
The question is, will the Rules be voted in, or will it be voted down? Who may vote them down and why?
If voted down, will there be a need to re-negotiated? How will the process work?
Also, if Kevin McCarthy's role as Speaker is so weakened because he had to give up so much, make so many promises, what will happen in the next two years? What will be done and not done?
How will any of this will affect the running of the country?
I will be following what happens from Monday on and we will see together what will happen with that vote and then what may or may not work, and see what the consequences to each is.
