The 118th United States Congress

I would guess with Jordan's chances of winning the Chair directly evaporating, the Nihilism caucus has realized that it McHenry gets a bipartisan mandate they lose their leverage, so now they need to get out ahead of it - give him the gavel with just GOP votes and nothing will have changed, their leverage remains intact. Of course they may find McHenry to be a less feckless foil than McCarthy was -- maybe.

In fact McHeny's power might inhere exactly in the fact he may not care if he loses the job - and thus be less willing to kowtow to keep it.

Another damning statement from the Trump Party

 

That last statement really cuts to why he'd be a disaster as leader.... there are simply things that you have to do in that role that involve coordination with the other party, and he's completely and utterly incapable of being that person.

McCarthy, by contrast, was capable but part of his undoing (and why the Dems didn't save him) is because he breached trust too many times.

It reminds me a bit about the story Howard Stern told about one of his first jobs. He was a horrible jock then. Management made him program director because he showed up on time every day.

Not exactly great credentials for a management position. What was Jordan's pre political history? Assistant wrestling coach? Once again not exactly major leadership material

this week, the House has been in session 6 minutes Monday to recite Pledge of Allegiance, and for about 2 hours each on Tuesday and Wednesday; they are supposed to gavel in at noon, but I think they are not going to do anything other than recite POA. This is exactly what MAGA wants the government to do - nothing.
