today, yes. i think what you re seeing and kevin mccarthy is the reality of someone who s desperate to become speaker, and needs every vote he can get. as the race for speaker sits today, kevin mccarthy needs 218 votes on the house floor from republicans. he does not have that without marjorie taylor greene and matt gates and others. and so, what his strike is to run up the score in november, should it be a big year for republicans, good to republicans get the seats 240, 250, 2060. chicken lead behind marjorie taylor greene and gates. but with the caucus today, he can t, or he will not be speaker of the house, which is the only motivating factor today in politics for kevin mccarthy which is speakership. that will, stick around, we re gonna squeeze in a quick break. then, we re gonna talk about kevin mccarthy s absolutely terrible week. terrible week.
