    If they do, and Speaker Mike Johnson resigns, it’ll mean the republican majority hangs on by 1 member flipping.

      The only way he gets ousted is if all Democrats vote it as well. These articles assume that will be the case, but things are a bit different than with McCarthy. Time will tell, but I don’t know if the Dems would all vote for it at this point. They may even do the opposite just to fuck with the far right members who are gunning for him, which would be fucking hilarious imo

      akshually…

      scuttlebutt has been that the second the vote to vacate is triggered, 4 house republicans would immediately resign, putting democrats in the majority. there would be no more republicans in charge and we get a functional house with speaker hakeem jeffries for the next 8 months at least.

        You can, but its a pretty bad look to be very publicly demoted and then just stick around. Better to go out on a high note as “a house speaker” instead of “a Congressman.”

    instead of threatening just do it already.

    this is the problem with this republican party. they say they will do a whole bunch of shit and don’t do any of it.
