What about the other prosecutor who was recently brought in,

and everyone said it was because he was so good at espionage prosecutions? What has happened to him?

According to CNN, McCarthy has won the GOP nomination for Speaker.

McCarthy wins GOP nomination for speaker, with 31 Republicans voting against him

House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy has won his party’s nomination for speaker, beating conservative challenger Rep. Andy Biggs in a 188 - 31 vote, according to multiple sources in the room.

It was a secret ballot, and McCarthy only needed a simple majority.

While Biggs’ challenge was always seen as a long shot, the number of Republicans voting for him shows how much work McCarthy has to do to win over holdouts between now and January, when he will need to win a majority of the entire House.


EDIT:

The CNN headline and my post headline says he won the NOMINATION, not the Speaker!!!!

House bill that should get immediate vote:

A group of Dem Representatives introduced a bill to increase the size of the Supreme Court.

Get that passed and with us holding only the Senate next term, fill the additional four seats with the Dem Senate, simple majority....


IMHO.

Democrat Kim Schrier wins 3rd term in tossup U.S. House race in Washington

WA-8.


https://www.axios.com/local/seattle/2022/11/11/kim-schrier-wins-midterm-results-washington-state

Democrat Kim Schrier will serve a third term representing Washington's 8th Congressional District after defeating Republican challenger Matt Larkin, the Associated Press reports.

Why it matters: The district has been considered one of a handful of tossup races that will determine control of Congress next year.

Driving the news: Schrier led Larkin, a lawyer who co-owns his family's manufacturing business, 52% to 47.7% after three days of vote counting, according to the Washington secretary of state's office.

Context: The 8th District — which includes suburbs east of Seattle, as well as parts of central Washington — turned blue for the first time in 2018 when Schrier was elected to replace Republican Dave Reichert.

We need three more seats to come in as blue wins,

and then we hold the House....
