@GenCounselWolf I know the 1924 GOP convention was on radio. But the original Madison Square Garden was decidedly not air-conditioned. — PolitiTweet.org

@JRubinBlogger And for those keeping score at home, there are currently 18 GOP House members-elect from districts that Joe Biden carried in 2020. — PolitiTweet.org

At least when the Democrats went 103 ballots to nominate a president in 1924, we had H.L. Mencken to cover it. — PolitiTweet.org

Cat Cammack in her speech nominating Kevin McCarthy is playing for the Carrie Nation vote with her snide comments about the Democrats and alcohol. — PolitiTweet.org

Fox News had gone from Damar Hamlin to Ron DeSantis inaugural. Now they have moved to whether Biden will run in 2024. Kevin McCarthy is literally the Nowhere Man. — PolitiTweet.org

Fascinating that Fox News has gotten bored with Kevin McCarthy’s plight. They are running a series of standard news pieces. — PolitiTweet.org

It is amusing to watch Ronna McDaniel trying to spin this disaster on Fox News. She is saying haplessly, “Republicans have to come together.” — PolitiTweet.org

Just a reminder, I am available to serve as Speaker if Kevin McCarthy falls short on the first ballot. But I do have one red line: If elected Speaker, I want the rules to say that it takes 435 members to offer a motion to vacate. — PolitiTweet.org
