I mean, if Gaetz is the House MAGA leader, and he says he'll back Emmer, then they should have a Speaker. But, he can also be lying and pull his endorsement. So who really knows just yet.Gaetz also supported Scalise. Then Scalise got tanked. --- lolAmerica ... Copied to Clipboard!

Another source with knowledge of the conversations regarding Emmer's play for the speakership told The Messenger that majority whip already has a dozen Republican lawmakers that will "never" vote for him. After the precedent that's been set you can't really be surprised. Now that Republicans know they can kill Speaker bids they don't like by just refusing to negotiate and being a permanent "no" that's what they're all gonna do. I don't think they realize how deep a hole they've dug for themselves. --- 1 line break(s), 121 characters allowed ... Copied to Clipboard!

Gaetz remarks that he doesn't mind the chaos:
https://crooksandliars.com/2023/10/matt-gaetz-struts-amid-house-chaos-were Matt Gaetz is very proud of himself for throwing a bomb into the Republican-controlled House of Representatives and dethroning Kevin McCarthy. Even after today's contentious conference meeting in the basement beneath the Capitol where Kevin McCarthy told him to "sit the fuck down" when he rose to speak more of his nonsense, he was proud. Kind of like a toddler smearing crap all over his bedroom wall proud. After some blather about how McCarthy "failed" them, Gaetz added, "This is what it's supposed to be and it's not clean and it's not orderly and the lobbyists and the special interests hate it but I don't seem to mind too much." He knows the long longer the House is non-functional the longer his ethics investigation is delayed. --- 1 line break(s), 121 characters allowed ... Copied to Clipboard!

Buck is one of the 8 Republicans who threw out McCarthy and the guy who admitted to casting troll votes during Jordan's run, and says he opposes any Republican who receives Democratic support too. Now that Emmer is the actual frontrunner watch him stop voting for Emmer. He's treating the office like a playground.
While death threats are never justified, the dude can't be surprised about a negative response to his actions when he's the second most disruptive member of the House after Matt Gaetz at this point. --- 1 line break(s), 121 characters allowed ... Copied to Clipboard!

Let's meet our (new) contestants!
Tom Emmer (MN) Mr. Emmer, 62, is the highest-ranking Republican in the race. Endorsed by former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, Mr. Emmer is the No. 3 Republican in the House, whose job is to whip, or count votes, to pass the speakers agenda. Austin Scott (GA) Mr. Scott, 53, was a surprise candidate for the speaker nomination last week, garnering 81 votes in the conference against the better-known Mr. Jordan. Byron Donalds (FL) Mr. Donalds, 44, a member of the ultraconservative House Freedom Caucus, is a favorite of the partys right wing. This is only his second term in Congress; he won his Naples-based district in 2020. Kevin Hern (OK) Mr. Hern, 61, is the chairman of the Republican Study Committee, a group committed to advancing conservative ideology that a majority of the Republican conference belongs to. The post often serves as a springboard to leadership positions. Mr. Jordan and Mr. Scalise, as well as former Vice President Mike Pence, all have led the committee. Jodey C. Arrington (TX) Mr. Arrington, 51, rose to prominence this year as the chairman of the Budget Committee, responsible for delivering a framework laying out the spending cuts Republicans said they would demand in exchange for suspending the debt limit. Jack Bergman (MI) Few people outside of his district may be familiar with Mr. Bergman. A retired Marine Corps lieutenant general, Mr. Bergman, 76, represents Michigans Upper Peninsula and the northern half of the Lower Peninsula. Mike Johnson (LA) Mr. Johnson, 51, is a lawyer who is the former chairman of the conservative Republican Study Committee. Pete Sessions (TX) "Mr. Sessions, 68, is the longest-serving member of Congress so far who is considering running for speaker, first serving from 1997 to 2019. After he was defeated in 2018 by a Democrat, Mr. Sessions ran for a seat in a neighboring district and prevailed, returning to Congress in 2021. He has previously served as the chairman of the House Republican campaign committee and as chairman of the powerful Rules committee. Mr. Sessions participated in a 2019 campaign by Trump allies targeting Marie L. Yovanovitch, the ambassador to Ukraine, writing to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that she should be fired for repeatedly expressing disdain for the Trump administration. (Mr. Trump recalled her in April of that year.)" Dan Meuser (PA) "Mr. Meuser, 59, was elected to Congress in 2018, after serving as his states secretary of revenue. He told the National Review that he was considering running for speaker because Im not gonna let this kindergarten continue.' https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/22/us/politics/meet-the-republicans-running-for-speaker.html Little known fact: The C in Jodey C.
