OPINION: TuckerCarlson: How badly does Kevin McCarthy want to be House speaker?
Fox News host Tucker Carlson gives his take on McCarthy's bid to be House speaker on 'Tucker Carlson Tonight.'Happy first Tuesday in 2023. The fun never stops. We thought we'd be able to announce the new Speaker of the House tonight. We thought we knew who it was going to be, but no, the race for speaker is still ongoing. Voting has been suspended for the day. It's going to resume again tomorrow.
Now, the fact that this race has not been settled by now is being described, especially online by many, as embarrassing – and it is embarrassing if you prefer the Soviet-style consensus of the Democratic Party's internal elections, where votes are merely a formality and all the really big decisions, the meaningful ones, are made years in advance by donors.
