Let the suffering begin! Elect him in then kick him out at random times with no warning, repeat.
Didn't he, within the last 24 hours, say he would consider being Speaker again? And shortly before that, that he would resign after the next Speaker was chosen?
Make up your mind, McCarthy.
This is precisely why he was ousted.
He’s a little bitch boy
No no no no no, please do. Please nominate him. It would be the funniest possible thing.
Careful, McCarthy might be trying to reverse psychology his idiot republicans into reinstating him.
Hahahaha renominate him so he can get kicked out again. It’ll be great!
These sacks of shit want the voting behind closed doors, too. One of the dems should nominate Liz Cheney just to fuck up their little Who's the Biggest Asshole Party
That would be genuinely hilarious
This is the best summary I could come up with:
McCarthy again declined to endorse in the race between House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan to succeed him as speaker.
Entering the meeting Tuesday, Scalise said he was confident that Republicans will begin voting Wednesday to elect a new speaker, arguing that they “need to get Congress back to work.”
While the impetus on Republicans to pick a new speaker escalated after the terrorist attack in Israel over the weekend, the House GOP conference remains bitterly divided over how it should proceed – and who can get the 217 votes needed to lead it.
Republicans are preparing for the prospect that neither Scalise nor Jordan can get the votes to be elected speaker, leaving the conference with no clear path forward.
In addition to the race between Scalise and Jordan, the conference is also divided over how the speaker nomination process would work, which would have major implications for who would be able to prevail.
House Foreign Affairs Chairman Mike McCaul called for a new speaker by Wednesday to avoid appearances of weakness and dysfunction amid war in Israel.
