So if you were Hakeem Jeffries, and Mike Johnson came to you and asked for just enough Democratic votes to remain speaker, what would you ask for?
Choosing to take this seriously, rather than go with the snark. Extract big stuff or MikeyJ can become another asterisk in the history of the US Congress.
@Boyceaz I would argue that it would have actually been better if they had done this with Kevin, but that was a VERY unpopular opinion at the time. My reasoning was that he was known quantity, and I suspected his replacement would be far worse. Turns out I was right.
@MakerWerks Well, Kevin made it clear he wouldn’t deal by going on the Sunday shows and blaming Democrats for the alleged “border crisis”.
I voted both but really this is the ONE republican who we can't trust next Jan 6th to follow the Constitution. I don't even assume he will seat democrats on January 3rd if we get the majority. He can't be trusted with power.
Would not trust him to follow through with deal. Tell him to bring the border and ukraine bills to a vote first before allowing him to stay as speaker
@Boyceaz Votes to save him from the hyenas has been offered on other issues already. He doesn't have the spine to save himself.
