RUSH EXCERPT:
WILD: "Well, I think that thing that's going most in Speaker Johnson’s favor is the strong feeling that I believe the GOP will have to avoid another Kevin McCarthy situation, where we were literally just stymied for several weeks and went through multiple votes before a new speaker was elected. And so I know that there will be, no, it's not a good look for the GOP. I know they are going to be doing everything they can to avoid that, but it is going to be tough because there are some members of the GOP conference who are perfectly content to burn the place down and there is nothing like failing to elect a speaker to start that process."
