John, Kevin McCarthy has repeatedly failed to receive a majority of the votes present on the floor. His own party is fractured with the Freedom Caucus (a MAGA-GOP caucus) opposing him with eyes on taking their party even farther to the extreme right.

While this may look like Republicans behaving in the new normal of self-sabotaging behavior, the historical significance of this is quite interesting. It's been 100 years since the House had such contention over a Speaker. In 1923, it took nine rounds for the Speaker vote to reach a consensus. McCarthy is finding himself in similar territory.

What is also abundantly clear is the lack of organization and commitment to the job that Republicans are displaying. Their majority in the House will yield only vengeance rule and self-serving causes that do not address the issues facing Americans. While the GOP remains fractured over who shows "true loyalty" to the MAGA cause and who is more moderate, the American people suffer under an ineffective Congress. 

That is why we launched our Take Back the House fund and are beginning the early stages of organizing to ensure that we have the majority in 2024.

Can you give to the cause today to help create the infrastructure we need to stop the MAGA GOP?

John, there may be no resolution to the votes today. While this infighting continues, there is a pause on what can get done, including discussions of crucial legislation. We will remember those that chose to make a statement and grandstand on hollow lies rather than serve their constituents.
