If Republicans ousted MJ, the razor-thin margin actually makes it possible for Hakeem Jeffries to win the speakership. It would only take a couple of absences or votes of “present” for the democrats to win the speakership. That would be weird and historic.

Hey Michael... Could you PLEASE stop interjecting random "HMMMs" throughout your interviews??? They are super annoying and makes me want to switch these podcasts off....

[@daveg9000]

I fully support your request.

Interesting! I actually like it! 🤔

[@lauraw.7008]

I don’t agree with much on the republican side, but I DO appreciate that Mike Johnson is trying to really govern. He is willing to compromise in spite of whether or not it causes him his next election.
