Kimmel: Latest House GOP Speaker Race Look Like a ‘Reunion of a College Basketball Team from 1955’

‘There are now eight candidates for speaker’

EXCERPT:

KIMMELL: "In less important news, we still don’t have a speaker of the House, and it isn’t likely they will elect one soon. There are now eight candidates for speaker, seven white men and one black man, or as Republicans call it, a very diverse slate of choices. Looks like the reunion of a college basketball team from 1955, you know? The reason they are in this mess is because Matt Gaetz and company ousted the Speaker Kevin McCarthy, and then they found another guy, Steve Scalise, they voted, he couldn’t get the votes; then they went to the next guy, Jim Jordan, he wrestled his way in there, he couldn’t get the votes. Even though, according to his fellow Republicans, Jim Jordan is a super-duper popular guy.”
