ANALYSIS — Three weeks have passed since eight House Republicans dethroned Speaker Kevin McCarthy, yet there are still two valid questions: How’d we get here? And will it matter in 2024?
This will come as a surprise, but there seems to be a disconnect between what some House members say and how they act.
“I think everyone is approaching this pragmatically and realizing, again, there’s gonna be some compromise, some give and take, because it takes 218,” Virginia Rep. Bob Good told CBN News the day after the McCarthy ouster, citing the number of votes needed to elect a speaker if everyone is present and votes for someone.
