Political analyst and author Dick Morris told Newsmax on Monday that a fractured House Republican conference might be losing something important while members bicker over who will be next to hold the speaker's gavel.
"What they can end up doing is blowing it. They'll end up losing all the chairmanships and the majority and the whole bit and, to boot, being seen by the country as incapable of governing. Eight House Republicans, with help from Democrats, won a motion to vacate vote to oust Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., as speaker on Oct. 3. Since then, the GOP nominated Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., to replace McCarthy; but Scalise dropped out late Thursday after he was unable to muster the 217 votes needed to secure the job.
Morris, host of "Dick Morris Democracy" Saturdays on Newsmax, said Republicans have long been hamstrung by some members unwilling to engage with Democrats in the budget battle, especially when it comes to a government shutdown.
