Deep dives
Speaker of the House Vote
The upcoming vote for the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, is of critical importance as he requires 218 votes to maintain his role. With Republicans holding a narrow majority of only 219 seats, dissenting voices within the party are starting to surface, notably from Representative Thomas Massey. There are concerns that if no speaker is elected by January 6th, the congressional certification of the election might be jeopardized, leading to further political instability. The potential scenario where Senator Chuck Grassley could become acting President due to the lack of a Speaker underscores the high stakes involved.
