[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]McCarthy now has the votes. he will be speaker tomorrow after the first vote[/quote]

Source?[/quote]

His a$$.  McCarthy clearly doesn't have the votes.  He was out there this morning with a harebrained idea that 11 of the 20 would vote for him and the other 9 would abstain from voting.  He has no strategy and is just grasping at straws.  His only path forward is a deal with Jeffries, or to drop out.  [/quote]

Jeffries would be an idiot to accept any deal. McCarthy can offer him anything he wants, but unless republicans agree to vote for a compromise rules package, it will just be democrats and McCarthy supporting it. [/quote]

You people actually believe a far left Dem is going to be elected speaker? [/quote]

I just want to correct the misrepresentation that Jeffries is a "far left" Dem. According to his own words:

"There's a difference between progressive Democrats and hard-left democratic socialists," Jeffries told the Atlantic in 2021. "I'm a Black progressive Democrat concerned with addressing racial and social and economic injustice with the fierce urgency of now. That's been my career, that's been my journey, and it will continue to be as I move forward for however long I have an opportunity to serve. There will never be a moment where I bend the knee to hard-left democratic socialism."[/quote]
Does anyone admit to being a “hard left democratic socialist”? Of course not.[/quote]
