They held the gavel and played games, only to see votes change at the last minute. It's frustrating to watch such a dumb procedural move just to say he didn't lose a vote. GOP is the worst! #SpeakerVote #PoliticalGames
Mike Johnson calling the election results a "mandate" couldn't be further from the truth.

can you imagine Trump's conversations with some of these more principled Republicans during the #SpeakerVote?
"I don't get you. I've tried threatening you. I've tried bribing you. What else is there?"
Update on the #speakervote - Mike Johnson was able to flip two remaining holdouts who switched to support him, thereby keeping his position as speaker of the House.

Is is me? Or, did that nail-biter of a #SpeakerVote NOT LOOK LIKE A "MANDATE" in any way, shape or form?

After some cloakroom wrangling, #MAGAMike Johnson has pulled it off! !st Roll Call Vote just closed with him becoming #SpeakerJohnson for the 119th Congress ... so far.
#SpeakerVote
Wait, so the 5 delegates representing the District of Columbia, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, representing over 4M people can’t cast a vote for Speaker, but the UN-sworn in new Reps can?? #speakervote
A mandate would give us a speaker on the first vote. Republicans can't govern. #SpeakerVote #GOPFail #Clownshow
Sad preview of how the next 4 years will go. #SpeakerVote
Can anyone explain why the vote is still open? I know Norman and Self can change their vote depending on how far Johnson will bend over but does it matter if he gets the vote in the first or second round?
#SpeakerVote
Rep Stacey Plaskett, Virgin Islands powerful remarks on the continuing disenfranchisement of U.S. territories and the District of Columbia in these House leadership elections. youtu.be/x8DU77NCqHU?...

The "Six Plus Three" hard-right Members of Congress that are sending a message to #MAGAMike Johnson as the House #SpeakerVote is held open are said to be "to the right of Johnson."
How do you get to the RIGHT of Mike Johnson and still stay on the American Constitutional political spectrum?
Live your life so people don’t cheer and clap when you quit your job #SpeakerVote
Just realized I’m a very specific kind of nerd—getting excited to watch the Speaker of the House vote on C-SPAN. When did democracy in action become my version of a blockbuster. #PoliticalNerd #CSPAN #SpeakerVote
Popcorn round one done, I’m ready for round two! #SpeakerVote #HouseofRepresentatives
LETS DO IT AGAIN!
Second speaker vote expected imminently as house members are told to return to the floor
#housespeaker #mikejohnson #speakervote
#Republicans are already showing themselves to be the Party of Chaos & Dysfunction. The House vote for #Speaker is "held open" since #MagaMike fell short (3 #Republicans voted for someone else) on the first run-through of the Roll Call.
