Catherine Falders: 众议院议长选举的15轮投票凸显了共和党内部的严重分歧,以及麦卡锡为获得议长职位所做出的诸多让步。这些让步削弱了他的权力,预示着未来两年国会运作将充满挑战,可能面临更多权力斗争和妥协。麦卡锡为了获得议长职位,不得不与自由党团等反建制派势力进行谈判,并做出一些让步,例如降低罢免议长的门槛。这些幕后交易和妥协,可能会影响未来国会对预算、政府支出等重大议题的决策。此外,共和党内部存在三种势力:反建制派、温和派和中间派,这使得国会运作更加复杂,未来可能面临更多混乱。 Nate Silver: 麦卡锡最终当选议长,但过程混乱,预示着未来两年国会运作将充满挑战。共和党内部存在三种势力:反建制派、温和派和中间派,这使得国会运作更加复杂,未来可能面临更多混乱,尤其是在预算和债务上限等问题上。虽然麦卡锡最终当选,但这反映了共和党内部的深刻分歧,以及他作为议长可能面临的权力制约。 Nathaniel Rakich: 麦卡锡的反对者代表着共和党内的“茶党”派系,他们反对建制派,并持有长期以来的保守主义立场。这些反对者主要来自深红州,他们的动机并非基于麦卡锡的个人形象,而是对共和党建制派的不满和对保守主义原则的坚持。 Galen Druk: 麦卡锡未能私下解决党内分歧,导致权力斗争公开化。未来国会中的权力斗争将发生在共和党内部以及共和党和民主党之间。麦卡锡可能会受到其党内极端派系的制约,这将影响他在重大议题上的决策。选民更关心的是共和党和民主党能否在实际问题上达成合作,而不是议长选举的内幕。议长选举的混乱局面可能会暂时损害共和党的公众形象,但其长期影响尚待观察。

Shownotes Transcript

The crew looks at why it took 15 votes to get Rep. Kevin McCarthy elected House Speaker and what that process says about the two years ahead and the GOP more broadly. They also consider how Rep. George Santos’s scandals will affect his tenure in Congress and whether he would have been elected at all if his fabricated biography had received more scrutiny during the campaign.
