Washington DC, as the House of Representatives prepares for another day of voting on who will wield the Speaker’s gavel, voters are divided over whether Republican Rep. Kevin McCarthy should get the job.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 35% of Likely U.S. Voters believe Republicans should choose Kevin McCarthy to be the next Speaker of the House, while 41% say the GOP should not elect McCarthy as the next Speaker.

The House can conduct no other business until a speaker is chosen .How long can the House go without a speaker? Until this latest prolonged voting, the most recent instance of multiple rounds of votes for speaker was in December 1923, when the 68th Congress required nine rounds over three days to elect Republican Rep. Fredrick Huntington Gillett of Massachusetts.
the current limbo is nowhere near the longest-ever speaker vote, which occurred in 1855 and 1856. The record for most rounds of votes, according to the Office of the Historian of the House, is the 34th Congress, when Rep. Nathaniel Prentice Banks of Massachusetts was only elected speaker after 133 rounds and some two months of voting.

Deafening silence from the Ridgewood Blog commenters as they await to be told what to think.
It only took 15 rounds of votes to finally make him speaker of the house……. How much did he give up in the end for those votes?
RINOs giving up stuff is almost as good as Democrats giving up stuff.
