Nonilex<a href="https://masto.ai/tags/McCarthy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#McCarthy</a> spoke early on & said he backs empowering <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/McHenry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#McHenry</a>. He argued that McHenry already has the power because the point of the position is for a continuation of government.Rep Austin Scott (R-GA), who ran a protest candidacy against Rep <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/JimJordan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JimJordan</a> last wk, said some members want to enforce a “majority of the majority,” meaning that if >½ of <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/HouseRepublicans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HouseRepublicans</a> endorse the proposal to expand <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Speaker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Speaker</a> Pro Tempore <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/PatrickMcHenry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PatrickMcHenry</a>’s powers, it would not be brought to the floor for a vote.
