This We are witnessing history unfold before our very eyes. The CSPAN cameras don’t need to be governed by any rules. House hasn’t been able to adopt rules, have roamed the floor of CongressAmazing scenes of political action captured by.

On Friday We saw the stars at night Rep. Patrick McHeLast ditch attempt to persuade nry (R.N.C. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) Vote Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R)Calif.) As Speaker The House This farce must be ended. He failed. Gaetz voted “present” McCarthy fell again on the 14th vote.

ThenYou can do something even better:

McCarthy took the steps up to confront him. GaetzSitting next to him was a smiling woman. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.Another member of The “Never Kevin” coalition. Fingers They were pointed. It It was difficult to understand the words, but McCarthy’s message seemed clear: “We had a deal.” Gaetz The deal was being changed. There was a bit of jostling and shouting in the back. Was This going to lead to a fight?

It It was an amazing scene. It was also childish, idiotic, petulant — pick your adjective. For Why did the egomaniac choose to torpedo an election late at night after calling McCarthy? “Speaker-elect” Do you prefer to go out in the evenings?  

Especially Because Gaetz Soon after, reportedly they agreed to a “deal” The vote was carried out. Round 15 when the clock strikes midnight.

Now Kevin McCarthy is now a speaker after the epic failure. YayWe guess.

UnfortunatelyIt seems unlikely that the small is possible with the divisions this week. Republican The majority of regulars will not be able achieve the same goals as the holdouts. You agree on. Especially We know McCarthy made concessions already that made his speakership less powerful and made the position of the saboteurs more prominent. What It was exactly as you expected. Matt Gaetz Do you want to see his theatrics performed? We’ll find out soon.

Yes, Republicans Can conduct final oversight hearings or investigations. But if they’re going to restore sanity to the appropriations process and avoid yet another “omnibus” blowout, they’ll need to agree on an actual budget and then on a dozen-plus concrete spending bills.

And then Find compromises for the (narrowly). Democratic Senate And the Biden White House.

It’s not remotely clear that 218 (of just 222) House Republicans All parties can accept any type of spending bill. The hard-liners want major cuts, immediately; at least a few moderates won’t go along.

Maybe McCarthy and his leadership group can pull off a few. Democratic Vote for a budget which keeps spending growth constant Nearly flat, though the new rules guarantee that’ll be a huge slog rife with challenges that force votes on ousting the speaker.

Some Consider the Federal Debt Ceiling raising as an opportunity to enforce fiscal discipline. Maybe so, but that’ll still require GOP unity on some less-than-ideal proposal — because if the standoff goes on too long, “soft” Republicans Break and forge a deal to protect They interests: It’s not just this week’s holdouts who can milk their leverage.

And the GOP’s best chance, when push comes to omnibus shove, may be simply to keep the government funded with continuing resolutions that basically retain current spending levels — but even that will require more unity than we’ve seen so far.

The last two Republican For excellent reasons, speakers ended up leaving the job. McCarthy might look back fondly on this week, which was comparatively easy.
