Multiple members emerged from the House GOP's speaker forum on Tuesday saying they don't see either candidate being any closer to having the votes needed to secure the gavel on the floor.

Driving the news: "No one is close to 217," Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Fla.) said after Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La) and Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) pitched members on why they believe they should be the next speaker.

They DGAF. It’s all froth and drama over nothing, which is what their Russian and Chinese handlers want.

It's really crazy how obvious this shit is. The Republicans who voted to get rid of McCarthy did it because they want to stop funding Ukraine, cause chaos and make their Russian donors happy. The whole MAGAt extremist branch of Congress is clearly funded by Russia.
