Multiple members emerged from the House GOP’s speaker forum on Tuesday saying they don’t see either candidate being any closer to having the votes needed to secure the gavel on the floor.

Driving the news: “No one is close to 217,” Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Fla.) said after Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La) and Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) pitched members on why they believe they should be the next speaker.

    Dems could easily determine the next speaker. They only need 5 GOP members to make a deal to elect their guy. Or if that doesn’t work someone like Cheney. Or Scalise as a last resort. Definitely they need to stop Gym Jordan from getting it. He is a pedo neofascist.

      Scalise compared himself to David duke once, I’m thinking he might not be a good choice either.

      You’re asking Democrats to choose between a GOP Pedo and a GOP racist. Why not just ask them if they’d rather be shot or stabbed?

      just flip that around. Any five GOP members could pick the next speaker if they were willing to make a deal with the Dems.

      The GOP is a crab bucket and I can’t wait until they gorge themselves to death on each other.
