Can you imagine if Gaetz gets stuck in the elevator? The squatter in the speakers office wouldn't have anything to do with it.

He only needs 1 to vote for him and another to vote Present. He obviously knew all along that eventually it would go his way. As usual, we all got our hopes up that it would drag on, but it wasn't meant to be.

that McCarthy would be the next speaker. I’m certainly with those who don’t need to skip a nice old movie to watch easily buyable people switch.

Biggs and some other tougher opponents walked in together without talking to anyone. Still, it’s not over til it’s over.
