The House Speaker election is January 3, 2025.
You've got 34 Republicans pissed off at passage of the American Relief Act on December 20th by Mike Johnson and 170 Republicans.
Hakeem Jeffries has already told everyone Democrats will not help elect Mike Johnson speaker again because he stiffed them on the continuing spending resolution. Democrats are pissed off, too, although 196 did vote Yea on the bill.
So Republicans absolutely need those 34 to re-elect Johnson to speaker on Jan 3rd.
But let's say they don't, and the process drags out like it did with Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
The 2024 election results go to Congress in joint session for casting of the electoral college votes on January 6th, but that wouldn't happen without a speaker to swear-in the new House.
Jan 6, 2025 could be disrupted for Trump.
Very amusing.
Discussed here.
