Jake Sherman: I'm Not Convinced McCarthy Becomes Next Speaker
we're going to move now to Capitol Hill,where a vote on the next Speaker of the,House seems unlikely to be decided on,the first ballot something that hasn't,happened in a hundred years and what,could be a premature move incoming,Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy continued,to move his belongings into the,speaker's office yesterday in advance of,today's vote and who's that right there,as you can see in the background of this,video our next guest literally had a,front row seat to this unfolding drama,co-founder of Punchbowl news Jake,Sherman joins us now he's an MSNBC,political contributor so he's really,moving all those things in,yeah he doesn't have any any other,office space uh he's have to have to,move out of his previous office so I,mean he can set up shop in the local uh,Starbucks but I think that's probably,not a great option here's what I would,say I actually am not convinced he,becomes the next speaker to be honest,with you,um I think that uh the stars are lining,up against him at this point he's got,you know five to a dozen or so if not,more Republicans against him you know,Joe will remember that Newt Gingrich,stepped out of the race when it was,clear he couldn't become speaker,um that's not going to happen this time,McCarthy is going to the floor to try to,have a have it out to have a fight with,these Republicans who he's supported,over the years has spent more than 70,million dollars to elect many of these,folks and and he wants to have this,fight with the right with the,conservatives the freedom caucus that he,believes no other speaker no other,Majority Leader Republican leader has,had in the last decade,so Jake what's the backup plan uh for uh,those that are are never Kevin's for,those who are saying they're not going,to support Kevin what what's their,backup plan you're the backup plan Joe,no I'm kidding um,Steve scalise is probably the next,backup option but moderates are not are,not good with scalise at the moment I,talked to Don Bacon one of the leading,moderates last night who said he's gonna,run somebody against Steve scalise if,Steve scalise is the option now he's,saying that now and people make,decisions very quickly and change,decisions very quickly on Capitol Hill,but I could honestly see and there's a,difference of opinion here on Capitol,Hill about this I can honestly see that,this will go throughout the day it could,go days,um this could this institution could be,paralyzed for the next couple days as,they figure this out I mean and McCarthy,has given up the store has given every,concession that the right wants within,reason and they're still not for them,they just don't like Kevin McCarthy,that's the bottom line and they're are,going to have to Rally around somebody,because they can't do this twice they're,not gonna the conference is not gonna go,is not gonna put up with this twice,yeah so um what about Tom Cole he seems,to be somebody that might have a foot in,both worlds especially since he voted,against certifying uh the election,that's a really good option people like,Tom Cole and Frank Lucas both of,Oklahoma some of the more serious older,more respected conservative members of,the conference that could be an,interesting fallback option for for,Republicans I mean I think it'll be,difficult to run him against Steve,scalise I think Steve scalise has a lot,more support but listen in a 222-seat,majority you basically need every single,Republican to be on board with your,choice for speaker all but four or five,so whoever they come around to it needs,to get needs to satisfy all camps and I,just sitting here today I don't know who,that person is it's not going to be Jim,Jordan moderates are not going to elect,Jim Jordan the speaker of the house so,it's going to have to be somebody that,is palatable to moderates palatable to,conservatives is that Steve scalise is,it someone like a Patrick McHenry of,North Carolina is it a Frank Lucas or,Tom Cole of Oklahoma all of these are,possibilities but just to put this in,context remember this hasn't happened in,110 years a second ballot for Speaker of,the House,um and if you're a Democrat this morning,a house Democrat this morning aside from,being in the majority this is about the,best way you could hope to start the,118th Congress so Jake this kind of,gives us a window into what the next two,years are going to look like if,Republicans can't even agree on who,should be the Speaker of the House what,does it mean for oh I don't know funding,the government or avoiding a default on,the government's credit or all the,hearings that they want to have and the,people they want to drag up in front of,the Congress what is this going to look,like for two years it's going to be an,absolute mess worse than we've seen in,the last 15 years there's no question,about that and you could see a scenario,in which after a government funding,fight that the conservatives move to,remove the speaker of the house it's,just we are in a period of just outright,war in the house Re
