House Republicans Try One More Time

Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) was the clear favorite in the latest House Republican Conference vote with 85 votes, but he’s still short of a majority.

But very troubling for Republicans is that 30 of their members voted for people not even running.

Jake Sherman: “Let’s be clear what people think here. People thing McCarthy world is pushing members to hold back votes to eventually put McCarthy back in the speakership. This seems like an extreme long shot to me.”
