Razor thin is one or two votes. Not the 5 to 7 they had from the beginning.

which is what they mean by that term "razor-thin" in this case.

The GOP only has 219 right now (with 1 (contested) vacancy to be filled in December (TN), taking them to 220 but then a new vacancy to come in January taking them back down to 219, where MTG's seat won't be filled until February/early March at the earliest).

And with (D)s at 213, and a vacancy to be filled in December (TX), increasing to 214 (but then a new vacancy happening this past week, staying at 214 until April for the Sherrill seat special election), then the GOP can't lose more than 2 members between January - March as it would be 219 - 214.

Ultimately, assuming (D)s don't flip the TN seat, the spread will be 220 - 215, meaning (R)s can't lose more than 3.

It's just hard to see when you have a Republican Party that is so one-minded that they would shoot their first born if their dear leader told them to do it.

He and MTG were instrumental in getting that Epstein discharge petition across the finish line.

And remember what happened after Grijalva FINALLY got sworn in to reach the magic number of 218? Their dear leader than gave them the go-ahead to sign off on the bill, which meant the vote was suddenly almost unanimous (with ALL GOPers who were present to vote, voting "yay", but one - Clay Higgins).

for years...Kevin McCarthy gave her cover allowing her to become the face of the MAGA party, but once he lost his job and resigned from congress, she became a liability...

her metamorphosis from Jewish space lasers nut job to something resembling normal only occurred after the Democratic election blowout earlier this month and angry constituents condemning the shutdown..her district may me MAGA red but they are middle class and aging and rely on SNAP to feed their families and the ACA for healthcare...

Greene standing with Democrats demanding the release of the Epstein files prompted Trump to decimate her on his social platform and incite his foot soldiers to do what they do best, harass and threaten...ironically in the past, she didn't bat and eye when Democrats were in Trump's crosshairs..

make no mistake she's not done...she's tasted power and when the "heat' subsides she's going to run again, more than likely for the US Senate...oy!!

Not so. She signed onto the Epstein discharge petition at the outset.

So much junk surrounds that woman timelines disappear into the ether ..

If everyone who can supports him financially starts now I would think he stands a good chance.

And yes, this whole thing is almost certainly because the Mango Monster refused to back he for a Senate run. I would almost guarantee she will run foe Senate. ASAP. But there are enough people outside *and even in) her district who are embarrassed by her that we still stand a good chance.

To quote The West Wing..”He’s the real deal”

I have a list of Dems I donate to pretty regularly including Ossoff.

Squeaker Mike is running low on rat turds.

I thought she had been married and divorced like 6 or 7 times already.
I have never seen mention of any family when articles about her come out; I was under the impression she is single but has parents who are still alive. But, hey, what do I know...the only time I pay even partial attention to her is when the media mentions her latest outrage in passing.

but she has hardly ever mentioned them until recently.

I know i would be really embarrassed if she were my mom.

I thought I could just Google her, but realized I really don't care about her that much.

Meanwhile though I'm glad she is resigning, I still don't trust her at all and I cannot forget the many horrible things she has done and said over the years. She is "Mean Girls" on steroids.

I wouldn't claim her as my mom

Her district is bright red, one of the reddest in Georgia. There's no way in hell that they'll elect a Democrat. At most Johnson will be down one vote for a short time.

It’s actually heavily Hispanic. Carpet factories I’d guess.

Hard hard red.

A gal can dream.

She was never in his camp😀

…make a motion to vacate (call for a confidence vote on) the Speaker, before announcing her upcoming departure.

I.e., no more "single member" can call for a motion to vacate the Chair.

Too bad!

along with the Gaetz & MTG & Boebert main show, plus the George Santos sideshow, they had to do something to change that for this current session!

Starting with his wife.

It's only a matter of how many Scaramucci's (or nano-Scaramucci's)

Nobody can be servile enough.

Wonder if that will impact the Nov election

When Georgia has the special election, another Repuke will win her seat. So there's really nothing to discuss.

Kemp has to call a special election, something like 10 days after she resigns, then the minimum time they have to wait to hold the election, would be 30 days after that, so per the below, they are expecting some time in March.

I know FL was a bit different where they had a primary for their special election BEFORE they had the "general" special election, when they filled Gaetz's seat after he had left. In fact, I think someone else also left FL to work for 45 or something, so they had a couple special elections.
