It was not clear who would replace McCarthy, who was elected speaker in January after Republicans won control of the House in the 2022 mid-term elections.
Genuinely curious to see who they find as a replacement. GOP House Speaker is an absolutely thankless gig and I can't imagine anyone with a lick of sense is lining up for the position.

honestly it'd be cool if they got trump up there
Perhaps some swaggering glory-hound grifter who really doesn't care about getting anything actually done.
Fortunately there's none of those types around!
Gaetz should do it. He represents core GOP values as well as those of the establishment Democrats.
finally someone who can reach across the aisle
The Kwizatz Haderach
Patrick McHenry is speaker pro tempore until someone pushes for an election of speaker
But they literally can't do anything but vote for speakers until a speaker is elected by majority vote.
Actually not true until a speaker election is called for because there is a speaker pro tempore
as long as he doesn't shake hands with the speaker anti tempore and cause a massive explosion, things should be fine
Bring in Kevin Sorbo. I want more opportunities to mock him.
