Amid some growing doubt among House Rs about whether Trump was still backing McCarthy, he just gave a full-throated endorsement on Truth Social saying it is time "all of our GREAT Republican House Members to VOTE for KEVIN." pic.twitter.com/dDTTLRFZdq

New from me: Kevin McCarthy is facing the same problem that has taken down almost every House GOP leader since 1994, namely the Republican caucus doesn’t want to be lead. It’s a cursed job at this point. https://t.co/bjOUKI84gF

Santos sat alone, squirmed & was finally called
“He then made his first and only public utterance of the day: “McCarthy”

We need to stop calling these people "conservatives." These people are fascists -- and that's a difference worth noting. Influential people dismissing this as semantics is what normalizes these maniacs and grants them power.https://t.co/Zi72eDyNaW

For the record, @SpeakerPelosi never lost a vote on the House floor in her entire tenure as Speaker. Kevin McCarthy has already lost 3.

anyway -- it's VERY unclear that McCarthy can become speaker. he may be speaker. he may not. mchenry may be speaker. Scalise may be speaker (read AM for more on that). jordan may be! (unlikely, i think).

Very very up in the air.
