though unfortunately. he still going to get a committee assignment though ryan? it s what it looks like. they ve said he ll be a part of the most high profile committees in the house of representatives, but mccarthy indicated he s going to give him the chance to serve in his full capacity as thee investigations into the lack of honesty he had as it relates to his resume and possibly financial there s a referral to the house ethics committee. also been a referral to the committee on ethics which is separate from the house ethics committee and of course there are investigations at the state and federal level into his claims and background. mccarthy s made it clear until there s any sort of adjudication in all those different realms, santos is going to be given the opportunity to serve and it probably had a lot to do with the fact that the house majority is so thin for mccarthy.
in fact, this motion to adjourn was the first successful vote of republican house leadership of the 118th congress, which is to go home tonight after taking a two day driving and the idea was these are green shoots for kevin mccarthy, they d come back and today they would show that and so far that is not happened. i want to go, now ali, we will be returning let s go to it and be msnbc news national political correspondent steve kornacki, who s been at the big board all day tracking this. steve, what do you have for us? just looking, so it s to 19 yes now in terms of adjournment, there s that one republican who s no, and those two who are not voting, so maximum unless anybody changes their, vote maximum you re gonna have three republicans voting against adjournment, last night there were four republicans who voted against adjournment, biggs, boebert, crane, and gates, if this, holds at least one of them has changed his going along with mccarthy s
that was precisely it. in fact, this motion to adjourn was the first successful vote of republican house leadership of the 118th congress, which is to go home tonight after taking a two day driving and the idea was these are green shoots for kevin mccarthy, they d come back and today they would show that and so far that is not happened. i want to go, now ali, we will be returning let s go to it and be msnbc news national political correspondent steve kornacki, who s been at the big board all day tracking this. steve, what do you have for us? just looking, so it s to 19 yes now in terms of adjournment, there s that one republican who s no, and those two who are not voting, so maximum unless anybody changes their, vote maximum you re gonna have three republicans voting against adjournment, last night there were four republicans who voted against adjournment, biggs, boebert, crane, and gates, if this, holds at least one of them has changed his going along with mccarthy s assuming, again
that s right. the congressional leadership fund, controlled by typically the speaker of the house, typically protects majority makers, and members that are gonna cooperate with leadership. club for growth of hard lines sort of group, doesn t even have to be an open primary. mccarthy s, pack and before, that went after justin amash as a incumbents psychologist cycle. so mccarthy agreed to do is stop the big spending against some of these ultimately never kevin s right now, and that clearly moved a few people. kevin mccarthy still don t have the votes, but this suggests that he lives to fight another day, it really does. donna, what do you make this? i ll tell, you i think it s really extraordinary the two essentially outside forces, get to make this determination, but
involving the excessive concentration of power. it doesn t feel that this is what this is all about, though. if it was you think? all of kevin mccarthy s concessions, his self-gelding over the last 24 hours would have moved some vote. right. it doesn t seem there is anything to negotiate other than when kevin mccarthy is going to present matt gaetz and lauren boebert with his head on a platter. right. there is nothing that he can give them at this point. so there is this certain just addiction to anarchy and chaos and nihilism that also runs through all of this. yeah, i mean, to charlie s good point about nick s good point, mccarthy s concede all the policy adjustments. he s conceded that one member can get rid of a speaker. he as already lost.
