Stefanik once described Trump as a “whack job" in a message obtained by ⁦@nickconfessore⁩. But she has since "embarked on one of the most brazen transformations of the Trump era." https://t.co/cP9xquBMF3 — PolitiTweet.org

With holdouts unwilling to bend, McCarthy could not tell lawmakers and members-elect during a New Year's Day call that he had secured the votes for speaker. McCarthy could only say that he still had time before the vote on Tuesday. ⁦@CatieEdmondson⁩ https://t.co/HPtau0odTn — PolitiTweet.org

In an unscientific survey of Washington conventional wisdom (i.e. guests for New Year's brunch), only four thought McCarthy will be elected speaker on Tuesday and 14 thought he would not. Take that for what it's worth. — PolitiTweet.org
