Actually, initial reports that I saw are that most of the House GOP (including a lot of the newcomers) are leaning toward Scalise rather than McCarthy to be Speaker.
Which I think would be a good choice. He is kind of in the same vein as Cruz and Rubio as sort of "MAGA Missing Link". Where they were/are Neo-Con types, but they have enough political intuition to see where the wind is blowing and ride it to their own power by following the waves. He has also generally been pretty good at call out the Left and the Media for their bullshit and knows better than to let his guard down around them (I am sure being shot and nearly killed by a raging Leftoid has nothing to do with that).
Interesting. I haven't followed the leadership stuff too closely because I didn't think they would let the Republicans take the House. I did see that McCarthy just won the leadership election, but of course he needs a majority of the full House to become Speaker. The 31 votes against him are more than enough to sink him, but openly colluding with the Dems is a different beast than an internal Republican squabble.
Like the other comment said (and I guess my initial info was wrong or unclear on), it looks like McCarthy will be Speaker and Scalise will be Majority Leader. Like I said, not great, but it could be much worse. The House at least has less RINO's in it than the Senate, so I think them playing obstruction will be fine for the next few years.
When Pelosi hands McCarthy the gavel he should make his joke a reality and beat her over the head with it.
