We just witnessed what sort of negotiation McCarthy is prepared to attempt.
He just turned over determining the Speaker of the House into the hands of competing 2 PACs

2 organizations that are outside the framework of the US government
The Club for Growth and the Congressional Leadership Fund (CLF) have negotiated a truce to get McCarthy votes

What outsider group is next for negotiating for control of the house?

Maybe some special interest corporate lobbying group can get some concessions too for a vote or two?

The dems? They are irrelevant. They are there to eat popcorn and get drunk, remember?

Although according to Yahoo, they are working with McCarthy right now to let Jefferies be Speaker.

Bless your heart 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Democrats’ Sherman Floats Possible Deal to Make McCarthy Speaker

(Bloomberg) -- House Democrat Brad Sherman floated a potential deal Wednesday that would trade Democratic votes to make beleaguered Republican Kevin McCarthy the speaker of the House in return for rules aimed at preventing a US government shutdown or a debt limit crisis.

“Eventually, he’s going to have to cut a deal with Democrats, because it’s going to be easier to get a deal with us than with his 20-headed monster he has over there,” the California Democrat said on Bloomberg Radio’s “Balance of Power” program. “He’s going to have to agree with Democrats to not hold hostage the full faith and credit of the United States, to not put us in a position where we’re going to shut down the government. And eventually I think Americans will benefit from this ugly picture of chaos.”


Sherman said a deal could include a rule allowing the Democratic leader to bring bills to the floor that would keep the government open and funded and suspend the debt limit in the coming months, and perhaps concessions on committee staffing and ratios as well.

“I think Democrats have accepted the idea that we’re not going to have a Democratic speaker,” he said. The choice for Democrats, he added, would be “a Kevin McCarthy who’s made concessions to us to make sure that the government isn’t shut down and the full faith and credit of the United States is not destroyed.”

Congressional Black Caucus swears in its largest group in history

The Congressional Black Caucus of the 118th Congress was officially sworn in at a ceremony on Tuesday, with Rep. Steven Horsford (D-Nev.) replacing outgoing Chairwoman Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio) as the “conscience of the Congress.”

Horsford said the new CBC will have the opportunity to advance the vision of the first CBC from 50 years ago — one that had only 13 members, including Rep. Shirley Chisholm (D-N.Y.) as the only woman.

“The laws and policies of our nation did not always favor Black Americans, from the earliest slaves brought across the ocean to the Black soldiers who fought in the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. To those who braved the earliest fights through Jim Crow & Reconstruction, from the Tuskegee Airmen and Henrietta Lacks to the brave front-line workers in the COVID pandemic,” Horsford said. “In the work we do, we honor our history, like the many Black members that served before there was even a Congressional Black Caucus.”

The new leadership was announced in early December. Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-N.Y.) was sworn in as the first vice chair; Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.) as second vice chair; Rep. Lucy McBath (D-Ga.) as secretary; and Rep. Marilyn Strickland (D-Wash.) as the caucus’s whip.

In total, 58 members — nine of them new members — were sworn in, including Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.), the first Gen Z member and the only Afro-Cuban in Congress, as well as Rep. Summer Lee (D-Pa.), the first Black woman elected to the House from Pennsylvania.
