GOP Rep: At Least Pelosi Knew How To Whip Votes

“I have my doubts right now because I’m seeing—we need leadership, ma’am. We don’t need someone just to say we’ve got 218 votes or whatever that jumps on the train after it leaves the station.

“Speaker Pelosi, I don’t agree with her ever, hardly on anything, but she was pretty successful. And the way she did it was she put an issue out amongst her caucus.

“She met with them. She figured out what they wanted, and then they put it out on the floor and they passed it and they rallied around it. 

“A lot of work goes into that but I’m not seeing that work right now. And it’s very disappointing to me.” – GOP Rep. Tim Burchett, last night on CNN.

Collins: Do you still support McCarthy as Speaker?
