@JakeSherman Oh my... 31 is a very hard number to climb

@JakeSherman How were there 219 voting? That is less than the number of Rs whose 2022 races have been called, and less than the number of Rs in the current House.

@JakeSherman @Cecchini_DC If McCarthy retains his leadership role in January will he be able to afford a place of his own in D.C. or will he continue to bunk with @FrankLuntz ?

@JakeSherman 31... that's one hell of a hill for him to climb.

@JakeSherman

@JakeSherman Who gets to vote? How did they get to 219?

@JakeSherman What happens if no one can get to 218?

@JakeSherman This is like dreaming of owning a Mustang, except the only one you can afford has 456,000 miles, overhears, leaks oil and has no headlights, so you @own it but can’t use it

@JakeSherman The only ones who treated this as a contest were were the same journos who elevated Trump.

@JakeSherman “won”

@JakeSherman This is meaningless

@JakeSherman freedom caucus big mad

@JakeSherman He wins-we lose.

@JakeSherman Your tweet was quoted in an article by guardian

@JakeSherman @CapehartJ 188 + 31 = 219?

@JakeSherman Can you cite your source please?

@JakeSherman I have been trying to figure out where the 219 (188+31) votes are coming from... Current Rs have less than 219 seats; 118th Congress Rs only have 217 secured, so does that include not-yet-called elections? Combination of current and new members?
