Does he get to keep his seat as a rep for Bakersfield, or is he out of the House entirely? If it's the latter, only 434 to go countdown

He’s just out as speaker, it won’t affect the seat count. Still should be funny to watch the republicans try to elect a replacement. Plus, no legislation for a while which is a win in my book

This is literally what the republicans want and also why government shutdowns occur.

It’s not like anything good will come out of a Republican led house. Plus it makes America look like more of a joke. I don’t see any downside to this
