[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jake Sherman reports that “Speaker Johnson says in a closed House Republican meeting that the vote to expel Santos is a "vote of conscience" and noted that House Republican leadership is not whipping it.”[/quote] What does “whipping it” mean in this context?[/quote] The House majority and minority parties each have a position known as the Whip whose job it is to count (whip) probable votes on either side of a pending bill or resolution and convince members to vote a particular way. Tom Emmer is the Republican Whip and Katherine Clark is the Democratic Whip. This House majority has been real bad at counting votes, though, so not sure how much this means.[/quote]
