I can’t think about what it have to be like for Fanone to look at Home Republicans elevate a person who participated within the planning of Trump’s coup plot to be the Speaker of the Home. The one excellent news for the nation is that after Republicans lose the Home majority subsequent November, it will likely be Speaker Hakeem Jeffries who can be in control of the Home when the votes are licensed on January 5, 2025 (The brand new Congress is sworn in January 3, 2025).
Republicans are displaying America that they’re the social gathering of riot they usually stand towards democracy. Not each Home Republican participated in Trump’s coup plot, however there are a lot of who don’t need Jordan to be the Speaker who lack the braveness to face up and say no. The swing district Republicans who oppose Jordan are anticipated to fold after a number of votes on Tuesday.
An insurrectionist turning into the Speaker of the Home appears like a logical subsequent step for the Republican Get together. Jim Jordan shouldn’t be allowed to be Speaker for all kinds of causes, however his help for riot tells America which path the Republican Get together intends to go in if they’re ever returned to energy.
