Republican strategist matt klink says its time for his party to move on. She is already a United States senator. So at this point, its much to do about nothing. Now that she is in the senate, he wants republicans to urge butler to work with them to reach consensus on issues facing the country that the democrats want enact much more aggressive social spending.

One of the people watching all of this unfold today, our political analyst michael yaki. He says this is the first time in modern history. Something like this has happened simply because 2 parts of the Republican Party cant stand each other. Is this is all internal republican dramas, all internal mag internal mega drama. And you know, if if im if im republican strategist, i look at this and think about what it means for the 2024 elections. And im just like, oh, my god, because this kind of shows that the Republican Party isnt quite sure who it is, what it is. I if i if im an independent and looking this with with a lot of lot. Lot of side. A republican. Im just im just throwing my hands saying you, what is it that youre doing . Youre just eating your own national tv. And what is next for Kevin Mccarthy . Yaki is a former adviser to former speaker nancy pelosi. He says it was immediately clear that whatever does happen. Mccarthys past ford will be very different from pelosis. Its not like former Speaker Pelosi who basically is an official adviser and still has as much power as she did when she when she left office. Mccarthy is has been stripped of power in very public way. And if i were him, i would be weighing whether or not its its worth continuing in congress at this point in time. I mean, then again, he may to get you. Dont you never know you he may try to make a deal with nancy mace and some of the others and build back up the 2. 17 without matt gaetz and trying to get it this is a this is a big wakeup call for the republicans in the of representatives. Does think it will hurt the Republican Party as we move toward the 2024 election. Really. But the only person was appearing to be optimistic today, oddly was Kevin Mccarthy, at least until the bitter and he was refusing to publicly give up or to show he knew that the end was near for his leadership position. As we know tonight, it is over. And although mccarthy is sounding very positive, very upbeat, hes been talking to reporters. He says he will not run again for House Speaker know alan grant.
