Topic	Kevin McCarthy voted out as Speaker of the House

Democrats would be unified in opposition, which means he could lose no more than four Republican votes in order to take the speakership. There are enough Republicans in swing districts that understand that Speaker Trump would be absolutely toxic for their electoral chances to sink any speakership bid. I think even the more conservative-yet-strategic-minded Republicans would try and steer Trump away from his, because Trump being speaker over a fractious, dysfunctional House would kill his re-election bid. There's no way Trump could wrangle the current Republican caucus AND negotiate deals with the Democratic senate to pass bills (I'm honestly not sure there's anyone who can), so taking up the Speaker's gavel right now is political suicide. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer.
