McCarthy claims to have a deal with Chip Roy. Not sure if it gets him to 218. Concessions should make for a fun House.
EDIT: Chip Roy already denying, good try Kevin!

Verbal is binding!
Trump at 5 cents feels like free money. He doesnât want it and donât think anyone actually wants him to win. Look like it hit 10 cents last night - shame to have missed that.
I know everyone is making fun of the house right now, but think of how much practice they are getting negotiating and voting. Going to be the most game ready congress ever as we head into the regular season.

Moreover, he is likely ineligible due to having previously engaged in insurrection against the United States.

No I did not instantly recognize that site
Everybody knows the only Amendment they care about is the 2nd. Plus what happened 2 years ago was all Antifaâs fault, Trump just gave a beautiful speech then went home to the White House.
Just a little light insurrection.

His fingers were crossed.
But say he is negotiating with twenty people. What keeps him from reneging? Can twenty congress people vacate the speaker?
I saw that one of the rules changes was so one person could nominate to vacate? But what about the actual process. Still seems like mccarthy can lie to a small minority and not be punished (other than not being able to do anything as speaker that requires a majority).
Who is that?

I think that the rule changes that the freedom cacusus are angling for would just become process procedures that would allow endless obstruction.
For instance allowing anyone to add amendments to a bill could result in a nonstop stream of amendments that would all need to be voted on and would just delay and obstruct the process on any bill they didnât like.
Same with a motion to vacate the speaker. One at a time there is a motion and the everything stops while they go through that process.
They just want to obstruct, thatâs the whole game.

McCarthy picking up votes
feel like 4 republican representatives are now MUCH more familiar with bitcoin and cold storage 
lot more of them are prob kicking themselves for not holding out for that free $$$
Multiple previous holdouts have switched to McCarthy on this vote: 5 or so (so far).
Still 3 non-McCarthy votes, though, and weâre only in the Ds. He can only afford 4 holdouts, right?
Why donât they just outright ask for the House to adopt Senate filibuster rules?
