Finally. Finally. Finally. Finally. Let the chaos begin.
After nearly a week of chaotic voting on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, Republican Kevin McCarthy of California was elected Speaker of the House of the 118th Congress just after midnight early Saturday morning after finally securing enough votes in the 15th ballot.
"McCarthy made dangerous concessions to the most fringe members of the House in exchange for their support in his effort to become Speaker." "Kevin McCarthy has repeatedly put his personal ambitions ahead of our democracy," said Sean Eldridge, president of Stand Up America, referencing the GOP leader's membership in the "Sedition Caucus" to whom he said the new speaker had"sold his soul."
Eldridge noted that over 70% of the current GOP conference in the House"are election deniers, including every single member of GOP leadership." That fact, he said,"should be chilling to every American who cares about protecting our democracy and our freedoms."
