  Probably won’t, but Republicans need to show that they’re actually serious about governing. I think they’re on thin ice already for 2024, they made minimal gains this past midterm, and Democratic turnout was very mediocre
context: While I don't think it will affect 2024 too significantly, it will be a helpful soundbite for Democrats to remind voters that Republicans only bring instability and chaos to politics. A good example for voters that Republicans cant get anything done, not even elect their own Speaker. >
  
  I mean all they need to do is constantly show that clip of Kevin fighting with Matt Gaetz on the house floor to prove their point 💀😭 >
  
  The people who voted in these idiots aren't the kind to remember 2 years later how inept the people they voted for were. >
  
  I mean obstruction is the goal, and the party managed to waste a week doing nothing so they are doing what the voters want. >
  
  Voters have comically short attention spans. No one will be thinking about this come 2024. The only things that matter are things that happen in the 1-4ish months before the election, maybe up to 6 months on presidential election years. Unless the GOP still hasn't nominated a speaker by mid 2024 or if it becomes regular for the 5 to challenge the speaker and put it back up to a vote this will have no effect on the 2024 election. >
  
  Ehh...if this is any sign as to how the house will operate, we are in for 2 years of a shit show. Voters may not remember this specific incident, but more will come. >
  
  The speaker vote, itself? Not at all.
  The chaos that the 118th Congress will be over the next two years? Absolutely. Anyone who thinks this week isn't a preview of what's to come is in for a rude awakening. >
  
  I think this is the worst possible outcome for Republicans, legitimately. 
  The had net -1 Senate seats in the midterm, and a house majority so thin it took 15 votes for them to finally pick a leader. To even get to that point, the GOP has agreed to any and every demand of the extreme right. 
  They had such a bad showing because independents rejected GOP candidates who were extreme right and endorsed by Trump. This is only going to make them far more unpopular with independents, which worsens their electoral chances. 
  The absolute chaos this week, completely owned by the Republican Party, just puts this all front and center. I wish them luck in convincing independents that they can be sane leaders not driven by conspiracy. >
  
  This taking forever doesn't really change anything for 2024. What it does change is how the House is going to operate for the next two years. McCarthy is probably getting it after promising the world to the holdouts, and I can't imagine what they want being super popular.
  I'd be shocked if we don't have at least one shutdown this year. >
  
  I'm curious; do you (or anyone else really) feel like if McCarthy over-promises to the holdouts and they start yanking on the leverage they're given, that it might potentially drive the more 'moderate' Republicans away? >
  
  Assuming one of the negotiations McCarthy agreed to was to allow for any R to initiate a vote to remove him as speaker, there are possibilities.
  The biggest thing I can see is that the radicals made him promise to do a shutdown if they don't get what they want in the budget this year. Ds can probably just dig in their heels and wait for a few Rs who are vulnerable to crack. The R majority is only about 4 people, and enough Rs were elected in Biden districts that they should know that if Rs are complete clowns in the next 2 years there's a pretty good chance they won't win re-election. Ds hold the Senate by a slim majority but they also have the Presidency. They're favored to win a war of attrition that Rs will probably initiate for silly reasons. >
  
  The only affect will be all in the end product is that of the republican acclamation of commitment towards the poor and working class, such as in regards to children, seniors and veterans there shall be no cuts to entitlements/benefits across the board but only enhancements across the board and a tax code that doesn't coddle wealth will be the determination of 2024.
