This supposes that republicans can maintain the house majority. We are dangerously close to losing the house before elections. Then it takes just 1 or 2 Republicans to not vote for his for speaker.
Correct. Watch closely. Unlikely that Dems will publicly vote for DJT for Speaker of House, and unclear if Republicans could get it back if they lose it without additional Dems being put into submission (which we just saw today with another Dem departure). Slow motion move/countermove playing out in the House right now to control the numbers, imo.
If they were controllable why have them resign? Do you think Fred Upton is a reliable R vote? I'd rather have a controlled Democrat that will vote the way I need them to vote if an important vote comes up than a +1 advantage on paper with a backstabbing traitor like Fred Upton able to fuck us.
