The other problem is a governing one: Getting elected Speaker is the *easy* part. Holding the confidence of a narrow majority every day for two years — forcing tough votes, keeping government functioning, navigating divided rule — is the hard part. https://t.co/eQKV0yq04N — PolitiTweet.org

Larger problem for GOP: The Speaker mess comes after independents and center-right voters drifted away from them in 2022, seeing the party as too Trumpy or extreme or chaotic. This pours salt in an open wound. https://t.co/eQKV0yqxUl — PolitiTweet.org

If Kevin McCarthy (or whoever the Speaker is) can't manage a dozen or two far-right rebels that person won't be able to govern on basic matters with a Democratic-led Senate and President Biden. The math simply doesn't work if they're calling the plays. https://t.co/eQKV0yq04N — PolitiTweet.org
