The threshold has now been reduced one more vote. If 8 more Rs vote present or don’t vote, Jeffries wins. Or would we need 9? 🤔

They would totally own me for the next 23 months. I would not be able to square that we won the popular vote and are in the leadership. What happened to old fashion cheating to win? Does the end not justify the means anymore?
