Update 2nd round speaker vote Jordan lost two votes from yesterday and John Boehner gained one!! Hakeem Jeffries received the most votes at 212 five away from the majority! #HouseSpeakerVote#HouseGOP
These Missouri GOP clowns have held a supermajority for 2 decades. They’ve continually cut funding to public education. Once they realized that wasn’t a popular move, they changed what it means to be fully-funded. If there’s any suffering, any embarrassment, they’re the reason.
