The plan to install a non-member of Congress as Speaker continues to have legs. Politico is reporting that retiring Congressman Fred Upton (R-MI) is the current rumored name. The goal is to deny Kevin McCarthy Speakership and the MAGAts chairman positions on the House committees.
I've never heard of Fred Upton, so I did a little googling.
Turns out, Upton, first elected in 1986, is one of the longest-tenured Republicans in the House. He previously chaired the House Energy and Commerce Committee and garnered a reputation for working with members across the aisle.

I like this and I could live with this.
I know, and yes, you DID define it. I'm sensing the continuing mood in the House GOP and how it affects a person like Upton's chances.
