As Congress opens, House Republicans are in the process of voting for a Speaker. With GOP control the position is likely set to go to Republicans. As the day began with Representatives walking through the Capitol, House Republican Leader, and potential Speaker pending votes, Kevin McCarthy, R-California, spoke to reporters about the Speaker election. It has been forecasted that this election would be challenging as a few Republicans oppose McCarthy for Speaker. Leaving many to wonder who else could run and find better success amongst fellow Representatives.

One of the few names tossed around has been Steve Scalise, R-Louisiana. Scalise has said he was preparing to run only if and when McCarthy dropped out of the race.

Reporters had a chance to ask McCarthy about his opinion of Scalise running and if he would support Scalise if he himself “failed.” In the below video it can be seen that as McCarthy is asked this question, he states “we are going to have a good day today,” before laughing off the question and walking away.

No offense to the Irish or Scots, but anyone with the last name starting with Mc is a lying RINO and can’t be trusted. McCarthy/ McConnell.

Yup, your open minded comment reflects your inability to make a common sense decision. Are all democrats as limited as you? Probably, if you were not smart enough to notice the fall of Afghanistan disaster, and the deaths of service members, or how about the 300 a day murders of youthful Americans from border fentanyl laced street drugs, killing over 100,000 a year from democrats refusing to close their borders of death. Murder by on purpose negligence, how about the hundreds of elderly dead last winter from inability to buy heating oil, then what about the mess in Ukraine where old Joe as Vice President used extortion to get a prosecutor fired for investigating his son Hunter by holding back federal aid to that corrupt government, hey you see all the afghans falling off the wheels of the planes once in the air, pretty odd huh, you notice Trump might go to jail for having twenty plus secret classified documents at his residency, while Biden for 50 years took home thousands of classified documents home not fearing arrest, hey how about proven the FBI Democratic Party secret goon FBI police you probably a fan of theirs? There is no question about it your being so witty, you had to prove there is no need in being dumb, unless you can prove it by speaking in public. By the way, how many undocumented out of the recent open borders 7 million here on government assistance SSI, are living in your home with you, Einstein? Probably none, your dumb and we are not cheering you on, thus you need to go where other dumb people complement each other, example a Beijing Biden political rally. Try a session of the democratic congressional majority senate, them lying folks are as bright as you are. Folks like yourself made our great nation a third world shut hole, in less than two years.

The country is going to hell & the Republicans cannot get their act together… I guess the country will go over the cliff, and become “equal” with the rest of the world… Just like the UN wants…

?? The Republicans were hijacked by RINO liberals many years ago. I would say that Republicans ARE indeed FINALLY getting their act together now. They are standing up to a California RINO they do not want in the Speaker position. I say Yay! to that.

If the republicans hope to accomplish anything these next two years they better get their act together, and do it quickly. If not the left will once again gain control and finish the job of destroying America that they started when senile Joe was elected.

The destruction of America started long ago, but the major train wreck was OBAMA/BIDEN. the dems who hate America though they were all made wealthy by the sweat of Americans who pay their bloated salaries and the trillions they spend like they have an endless supply, If this keeps up, we are as doomed as Russia and China.

Leave it up to the Republicans to screw things up. I’m against McCarthy being majority leader but the party won’t vote for anyone else ! So , the congressmen who are holding out need to get concessions from McCarthy for their vote and vote him in so they can start fixing things. It’s useless to delay for the RINOs might vote in a Democrat!

I think Jim Jordan or Donald Trump should be Speaker over Kevin McCarthy. McConnell needs to retire.

Why doesn’t De Santis admit he is running. He is a sneaky Italian like most. Too bad Ron you cannot beat the great one President Trump. Try another time dehen you correct your mistakes in the Great expensive hurricane alley state of Florida. Among false nursing diplomas, building unoccupied and prices so high for winter people there think it’s the French Riviera.
