The Republicans have the majority, they get to choose their own Speaker. Been that way for 240 years. The Democrats can do very little, as they don't have a majority.

I have yet to hear what the Democrats gain by supporting McCarthy.

I think this new speaker is going to continue to be an embarrassment for the GOP.

I think the GOP is going to have a very hard election cycle.

I hope. Sadly I think that the people who voted the GOP folks into office will continue to vote for them in their districts. Nothing will change imo.

MAGA needed democrats to get rid of mccarthy. MAGA wanted mccarthy gone. Democrats could have told MAGA to shove it up their *** and demonstrated their lack of power. Democrats instead said yes to MAGA and made them look powerful.
 
Trump wanted mccarthy gone. Democrats were like "yes master. Whatever you want master"

‘Get Ready For It’: Political Strategist Issues Dire Prediction About Mike Johnson

The new House speaker is “every bit the flamethrower” as Jim Jordan but “just wears a pair of glasses and dons a Clark Kent disguise,” warned Chai Komanduri.

Komanduri said extremist Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) kickstarted the ousting of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) from the role three weeks ago at “the behest” of Donald Trump because McCarthy “did not shut down the government and create an atmosphere of chaos by which” the former president could win back the White House.

But Johnson will “do Donald Trump’s bidding,”

“Get ready for it. We’ll have a government shutdown,” he predicted. “We’re going to shut down aid to Ukraine to help Trump’s major benefactor, [Russian President] Vladimir Putin. That’s what’s going to occur.”

Johnson is “every bit the flamethrower” as Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), who lost his bid to become speaker despite being endorsed by Trump.
 
Mccarthy took 15 votes to get the speakership. Johnson took one vote to achieve the speakership.

Johnson won the speakership after the first full House vote with him as the GOP’s nominee, with all Republicans in the chamber voting for him. By contrast, McCarthy’s victory came on the fifteenth ballot.

Gaetz praised Johnson as someone who “obeys almighty God and the Constitution before all else,”

Johnson had a leading role in trying to overturn the 2020 election results, supports a national abortion ban, and opposes same-sex marriage.


I would love to have mccarthy back.

Critics Say Matt Gaetz's Nickname For New House Speaker Is Alarmingly On Point

"House Republicans' words, not ours," tweeted Rep. Don Beyer, a Virginia Democrat.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) called the new House speaker “MAGA Mike Johnson” on Wednesday and onlookers suggested the moniker was, unfortunately, a good fit.

“MAGA is ascendant,” Gaetz told Steve Bannon on the ex-Donald Trump adviser’s podcast.

“If you don’t think that moving from Kevin McCarthy to MAGA Mike Johnson shows the ascendance of this movement and where the power in the Republican Party truly lies, then you’re not paying attention,” Gaetz said, referring to the ousted former House speaker.

Gaetz was angry that McCarthy worked with Democrats to avert a government shutdown and did not acquiesce to other demands of a hard-right faction of lawmakers.

Republicans cycled through three nominees before managing to agree on Johnson, who holds extreme views on rights for women and LGBTQ+ people and led a push to throw out the 2020 election results on Trump’s behalf.

This is the biggest power grab for Trumpist since they won the White House. The #AmericanInsurgency has won the Speaker’s gavel. & #OurEnemiesAreCelebrating.
