Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has clinched the Speakership.
The win came on the 15th ballot, after a long day and moments of drama and chaos on the House floor.
McCarthy garnered 216 votes. Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (N.Y.) had 212 and six Republicans voted “present,” which lowered the number of votes McCarthy needed and handed him the Speaker’s gavel.

Finally they got their heads out of their butts, now we can move to impeach Brandon and Coo Coo Kamala for malfeasance in office.

Wouldn't that be unbelievable if that were to happen since after the VP, the Speaker of the House becomes President of the United States.
