It started to feel like the political class was going to do anything to drag this out until the spending resolution that cost McCarthy his gavel became a Republican problem. No Speaker. No control. Disorganized. Country in danger. Blah Blah Blah.
I could hear it in my head. See the headlines. Between the RINOs and their Progressive masters, they would take an otherwise meaningless transfer of authority – a new guy or gal to herd the cats – into a political win for the bad guys.
So yes, I’m surprised.
Mike Johnson got nominated yesterday and elevated today. They frikkin got it done.
🚨HE WON! Congrats Speaker Mike Johnson!
Make no mistake, this is a *HUGE* victory
After Matt Gaetz ousted Kevin McCarthy, the DC Establishment fought back, but America 1st Patriots stood strong & won

The next question? Will Johnson do his job and block Biden’s awful agenda? Force the US House to debate and vote on each of the (is it 12?) appropriations bills clean and individually, forcing Democrats to explain why they are holding up the budget instead of the other way around.
Will investigations mean something more than the appearance of interest absent action?
Time will tell, but at the moment, this feels like a huge win, especially given the direction things were headed.
