Marge Greene today on battle for Speaker: “We’re going to fight it out. I’m not afraid of the civil war in the GOP. I lean into it.” pic.twitter.com/qtAJSJhiBQ "I actually think that's a bad strategy when we're looking at having a very razor-thin majority with potentially 219 [seats]. We're talking about one vote," she added while speaking on Steve Bannon's War Room show, per Axios.
After the party deliberates on its top brass and nominates a candidate for the House's top job, a full floor vote will take place with the newly elected Congress next year to appoint the next speaker. A candidate needs to cross the 218-vote threshold to ascend to the post. Republicans are projected to win a narrow control of the lower chamber following the midterm election.
